Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I think I’m becoming an Ali Hazelwood fan! Fun and flirty with a good emotional backstory. Kinda reminded me of a spicier Abby Jimenez book. I do with we got more of their emotions/feelings developed but I do think the traumas of the characters made that a more personal journey rather than something they discussed. Devoured this book. Spicy scenes had me BLUSHING.

“‘Out of all the people I’ve met, the things I’ve wanted, the places I’ve been, none has ever felt as necessary as you do. Because I love you. I love you in a way I didn’t think I was capable of. I love you because you showed me how to fall in love. And I don’t regret it, Rue. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Even if you can never say it back. Even if you never think about me again after today. Even if you were right after all, and you’re not capable of love.’”
