A well written well structured romance that didn’t quite have the time to get out what it meant to create

meaning I thought their resolution and transition to romance was more rushed than the does he recognize you part.

I also felt this story tried to do too much

between the dead cheating dad, the boyfriend, the earlier boyfriend, the friends, the job hunt, SA, and a mournful romance with a man who also had a dead wife

it all felt a bit like soap opera whiplash and I wish the story had narrowed to one or two of the aforementioned. The other components of the novel rather than enhancing its characters detracted from the central plot.
