I love second chances - it almost feels like marriage of convenience, my other favorite trope, but in reverse where the characters know each other so well but that tension of the past is there. Georgia and Eli KNOW each other and have been maintaining civility for the sake of their friend. I loved the emotional growth of both characters and the “always” theme. I loved watching them finally find their way back to each other. The surprises at the end were a lovely addition and I just enjoyed the journey. 

My only complaint is that I am not a fan of intimacy with no commitment and while we could argue that there was commitment, it wasn’t the point at the time.
