I think this book did a fantastic job at hitting a range of emotions that you might not have been expecting in a book categorized as a contemporary romance. I definitely found myself heavily relating to Sammy's personal connections and life experiences, and I think anyone who may struggle with feeling like they have no one in their corner would appreciate this book. I don't think this book particularly needed spicy scenes considering the deeper topics being discussed, but also, spice is a part of life and I appreciate the author being realistic about that aspect.
