This was an impulse purchase when I knew I was going to be recuperating from surgery. It's interesting, this definitely has Hannah Bonam-Young's style from Out on a Limb but I could tell it was an earlier book. It focused heavily on an emotional topic (family relationships and foster care) while still keeping the overall feel cozy. I will say I think the relationship between Chloe and Warren would have benefitted from a little more buildup/time spent falling in love. It was a little too quick from 'I hate my forced roommate' to ' I'm going to love you forever' for me.
