Predictable, cliche, cheesy, but also sweet and hopeful. I’m not always a fan of contemporary romance because I feel like it can sometimes get cringey, and I feel like this book definitely leaned in that direction. That said, I feel like it also had some impactful imagery around death and loss, and I appreciated that element.
