i think the the topic of communication and the importance of communication in romantic relationships was dealt with excellently in this book. i loved the little side plot with rodney, the quirky british humour, and the shift between past and present timelines. i couldn’t be mad at all by the way this book ended, or the way many relationship struggles were addressed and resolved in this book. i think it was done perfectly and i relate so freaking hard to addie and it was so lovely to receive validation for myself in the shape of her character. the poetry in this book was also written AMAZINGLY so props to beth o’leary for that <3 

the reason i didn’t give this book 5 stars is because while i did love it, i did not personally consider it to have really moved me, which is a marker for all my five star ratings.
