super adorable book. very light on the romance. very emotional. bawled my eyes out during the ending. definitely a few cringey/tropey things that made me eyeroll a little, and a few things that made it a littleeee hard to suspend my disbelief, but in general it's a precious book full of love, grief, family, friends, and working things out with the people you love.

Went into this book thinking it was a rom com. Don't get me wrong there's an adorable love story in it, but this book is a near perfect representation of the experience of grief. It captures loss and the after effects so well. You'll feel and you'll cry when you read it. Very well done.
