This is not really a romance. Suicidal thoughts are a *main*theme* in this book. There is a bit of closed door romance, but it’s described in such a detached way, I think because of Nora’s depression and her unwillingness to get attached. 

Warnings given, I think this was a very good book - it just wasn’t the lighthearted, book loving romance I was expecting, though I admit I pulled this from my To Read pile without rereading the synopsis. Nora was a wonderfully flawed character with a lot of depth, and it was good to see her efforts to ask for help and to make changes when changes can be so hard. While she certainly doesn’t have the rest of her life planned out, she does have a ton of self-awareness.
