Delightful. Not a word I would typically use, but. The characters are sweet, quirky, and likeable; the plot is very much the same. It's a straightforward contemporary romance so the end game (and plot) is fairly obvious but that didn't spoil the read for me. Explores important themes re: gaslighting but seems a bit romanticized imo, given she seems to transition into a healthy relationship without much baggage (this is even pointed out in the book).
Graphic: Emotional abuse
Moderate: Stalking, Sexual assault, Terminal illness, and Toxic relationship
