Obsessed with a playlist provided, more obsessed when I recognize songs.
Untouched by the Veronica’s is a gem.

Almost setting my house on fire while masturbating in the bathtub is a secret I will take to my grave.

I’m dead, especially when your fantasy is a firefighter.

This book made me feel giddy while also feeling pride of the strides both main characters took independently and together.

Grief, trauma, anxiety, and how to work through it were just as important as the romance and Katy did an amazing job of balancing both together so seamlessly on the same page. It was a slow burn romantic drama I wanted to keep watching on repeat. I may have gotten to read it early, but a copy is definitely going on the bookshelf for a reread.

Also, random thought I love unisex names and the entire cast being filled with them was a nice additional touch.
