Awww! I liked this one!
The ending with the letters had me wanting to break down and cry, it was so beautiful and full circle and sweet and UGH I LIKED IT OK
The romance was wonderful, I loved Gus, that moody, leaning, secretive, little bastard.
At times, January’s inner monologue got a smidge repetitive as she constantly circling back to her daddy issues, but understandably so considering the circumstances, I guess.
Also having characters named both January and AUGUSTus - Emily had some fun. Good for her, we love months!
Overall, a really fun vacation read! Thanks for the rec, Lizzie!
