This story and these characters stabbed me repeatedly in my type-A, big-sister heart until I was nothing but a sobbing puddle on the floor.
I loved this. I loved the banter and push-and-pull between the romantic leads. I loved the bond between the sisters. I loved the subversion of tropes. I loved the lack of a contrived Act IV miscommunication that you knew would blow over anyway. I loved how real and raw and genuinely funny this was beginning to end. The story is woven so gently at first that I didn't realize my heart was being cut out until it was too late and by then I wanted to embrace it all: the vulnerability, the understanding, the amount of emotional work I had poured in just to have it handed right back, how it feels to have a character who feels like me be seen.
I signed up for a rom-com, but got a therapy session wrapped up in pretty gingham bow (probably like a wreath on the door of Goode Books, if we're being honest). I'm not sure how I'll recover, but I also know that the way out is through.
Idk how I'm going to get over this one. A+++ for sure.
