Very strong romance, smut didn’t make me cringe which was nice, just wish I’d been able to read it in a couple sittings rather than spread over a couple of weeks.

I was apprehensive to pick this up because books with cancer as a core element are always just unbearably bleak. But, I love stories about friendship and I liked the idea that this was from the perspective of the best friend of someone with terminal cancer.
This was a overall a beautiful look at life long friendship and how much having that core relationship changed can be destabilising for all aspects of life. I did find it a bit heavy handed in trying to make the reader emotional, but for the most part I appreciated this character study
