Ohhh I just love this book so much! It’s funny and lighthearted while also addressing heavy topics like grief in a really beautiful way. Hart and Mercy are both flawed in their own ways, and I love getting to watch them grow and change throughout the book. The world-building is done in a great way that makes it easily digestible, making it easy to focus on the characters! I love the entire cast of characters,  and slightly older protagonists are always such a refreshing treat (both are in their mid-30’s). Just such a fantastic book that I will always recommend!
