Beautiful writing and definitely a diverse read but completely not for me. I was expecting a love story and technically this is one but this is really a book about overcoming groef and fixing mental health and navigating family dynamics and love when you’ve loss something which is an important conversation to have but that aside; I didn’t have any connection to them as a couple and none in them getting back together, also the spicy scenes were mid at best. 

I cried way too much for this to feel like a great romance. And I definitely feel for the characters but this book definitely needs trigger warnings and a new marketing campaign.
