I didn’t like it that much, unfortunately..
The dynamic between Juliana and Ben didn’t really work for me. Their initial dislike, or really Juliana’s dislike of Ben, stems from something stupid and insensitive she overheard him say two years ago. And yes, that wasn’t okay, I wouldn’t have just let that go either. But she takes this to another level, like I’m sorry, but you’re an adult and this is your place of work? Have you never encountered someone you didn’t like before? Just ignore them, be civil when you have to interact with them, and move on..
There was OW drama in this, which I hated. I didn’t like Ben that much to begin with, but the whole thing with the OW was kind of terrible.
This story also deals with themes of grief and single parenthood, which I thought were nicely done.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
