I can’t believe she made the error about JFK and LaGuardia. But beyond that I really liked this story. The success of the two main characters seemed a little “Hollywood” but I loved their second chance and appreciated their journey. The daughter was a trip.

The way I tripped and fell and became obsessed with this book in approximately 0.2 seconds. I'm in awe of Tia Williams' writing and the way she crafted this story. I cared so deeply about Eva and Shane I felt unwell. This was simply brilliant.

I really enjoyed this, for the most part. I loved the exploration of complex characters in a somewhat toxic relationship and how their trauma played into it. I also loved the representation of Eva with chronic migraines, as someone with chronic migraines myself I liked that. 

However, and this isn’t the authors’ fault, the cover makes this seem more like literacy fiction, and this is more like of a contemporary, comedy…romance (it wasn’t really romantic but it also wasn’t NOT romantic). Due to how many heavy themes this had, I think it might have worked better as lit fic, but the comedy did help the digestability I think. 

I’m excited to read more from this author!
