THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to net galley and the publisher for an arc of this !!!!!!!!
cat sebastian is everything to me. this book was a 5-star-read from the very first page. it was, admittedly, pretty similar to WCBSG, but that book is one of my all time favorites, so I'm not complaining. I usually don't love third person present tense, but somehow it just works so magically in these books. the writing was also so funny. like, this is an emotional book, but I still laughed out loud multiple times. it's a grumpy/sunshine story, but I didn't even notice until like halfway through because this book does not feel trope-y at all. I mean, some trope-y books can be good, but this book has you read classic tropes without even realizing it because you're so immersed in the reading experience. the characters are great. the found family is great. the epilogue is one of the best epilogues I have ever read. one thing I am sad about, though, is that I am now finished with cat sebastian's backlist. heartbreaking. I could read a new book from her every single day for the rest of my life, and most of them would probably be 5-star-reads. can't wait for whatever she does next.
