Initially, I was personally hesitant to read this because I wasn't one hundred percent invested in Ex Talk written by the same author. But I took a chance and was happy to feel that Solomon doesn't fall in the sophomore slump as much as I was afraid to be in. I found myself absorbing the romance in this novel as background noise and appreciated more Ari Abrams and Russ as individuals in addition to the topics that are discussed head one such as depression, therapy and the reluctance to go, battling with the mental health woes that not everyone will understand in addition to the medication conversation as well as the realness of raising a kid as an adult in their 20's. I warmed up to this gradually and I think this is a book that can be easily read within a day or three. Long story short, I was more invested in everything else that tied this book together as opposed to the romance between Ari and Russ. Nothing against them on a personal level, I just didn't feel a spark with them as I do with other couples in a romantic comedy themed novel.
