I wanted to love this. I really did but the book had such a hard time balancing what it was with what it wanted to be. It felt like a war between a talk about mental health and smut.

THIS BOOK!!!!!!! I need more of her work and I am obsessed with Fizzy and Connor. They are cute and funny and heartwarming and it’s a love story about finding your person and becoming a better person with them by your side.

Loved the development of Beth and Matt. There were times where I wasn’t sure what was going to happen and the fact that it’s all told looking back on the situations is interesting.

Loved this book but felt that characters were introduced and the. Never really hard from again. Good for background but could be confusing at points with trying to remember who was related to who and what characters had bad blood etc.
