I’m struggling to rate this. It’s out of my comfort zone and had some elements I didn’t care for. At the same time, it was compelling enough to keep me reading and had lots of wit and humor mixed in with the heavy themes. For that reason, I give it 3 stars.
Fans of 2nd chance love, love triangles, and messy and angsty stories told through multiple timelines will want to pick this up! I’m not sure if it truly qualifies as a romance but it had a strong romantic plot.
I didn’t like the rushed feeling of the last few chapters. Some major plot points got stuffed in there and I was like, “Wait, what?” And, I wasn’t really torn between the two love interests because one of them sucks (iykyk). There’s some very cringey messy stuff going on — which is likely a selling point for some readers. I was very on the fence and while I wanted to know what would happen, I also found the pace to be lagging at times. This book felt longer than 330 pages.
