Greatest romance of 2024 so far! I absolutely loved this one, read it in one sitting. I loved the complex best friendship--the disappointment they felt in one another, the imperfections in how they showed up, and the way that they were still okay. I loved the building drama and the departure from the traditional 3rd act break-up--this worked so well and never made me so anxious I had to take a break. And I love creative approaches to family formation. This book shows that many ways that deep support and love happen outside of genetics or a nuclear family structure, and I loved that.
