5 ⭐️
2.5 🌶️

CW: from the author:

•PTSD from losing patients as a medical provider in emergency situations
• Emotional repercussions of growing up with divorced parents
• Moving on after a past partner cheats

I enjoyed the banter and build to this relationship. Jude and Indira grew up together because Jude is best friend with Indira’s brother. They have always sort of just picked at one another. Not in like a mean way but in a pretty typical bickering type of way. That carried into adulthood and so when they both end up living in the same house with Indira’s brother it creates some fun banter moments.

I loved the healing aspect in this book. Jude is struggling with PTSD and we see him deal with realizing he needs help and see the healing. Indira also is in therapy for dealing with parental abandonment.

This book has a lot of heart!
