This was my favourite of Ali Hazelwood's books so far. I love how realistic the main characters struggles were and how the story showed a very human experience with life's challenges. Elsie was so relatable! Her struggles with people pleasing and insecurity was refreshing to see. Jack being patient with her but also lovingly pushing her to be her authentic self truly melted my heart. I also really like that she was not magically healed of her traumas at the end of the story. This is not a concept seen in romance novels which made it even more amazing to read! LOVED EVERY MINUTE!
