  •  contemporary fictional romcom & final installment
  • first-person dual POV of love interests
  • Friends-to-lovers, nextdoor-neighbor, opposites-attract, & mega strong messaging of be-grateful-for-your-life story set in Minnesota
  • FMC travel YouTube blogger/influencer Vanessa
  • MMC lawyer Adrian (went on a date with Sloan in the last book) // Vanessa is fostering her younger sister’s baby, since her younger sister Annabel is struggling with addiction
  • Adrian knocks on her door to ask her to quiet the baby down but they end up becoming friends
  • Adrian is dumped by his girlfriend of eight months, after telling him she was married
  • Cameos from previous series characters, much to my chagrin because FOUR KIDS?! REALLY, FOUR KIDS?! WITH THAT MEDICAL HISTORY?! LITERALLY FORK OFF
  • Really dislike the making fun of “micro penises” & “nothing is that deep” mentality in here 😭
  • cw: terminal illness, chronic illness (ALS), addiction, drug abuse, abandonment, mental illness, panic attacks/disorders, hoarding
  • steam 1/5
