There was a lot to like about this book: fun premise, great writing, and a wonderful golden retriever type book boyfriend. I think Justin is my favorite MMC from this author.
However, this story tackles some really heavy topics such as abandonment, child neglect, abuse, and mental illness, and overall left me feeling a bit down. I also felt like the author went really hard during the 3rd act, but then tied everything up too easily? Almost like using short term therapy as a magic wand?
Overall, this is a great story that I would recommend with some content warnings ⚠️ but probably would not read again.
