 I read Every Summer After before this and I will admit they are like reading the same book, but this one was much better. I didn't like the conflict in this but I especially didn't like how they glazed over it with more trauma.

Really enjoyed this though!

Solid romance with good characters, a little steam, plausible scenarios, and some tears at the end.

I honestly don't understand how this author duo can write good stuff like this and The Unhoneymooners, but then also puts out stuff like DY/HY ??? 

I did take issue with the Elliot past reveal at the end, bad bad vibes honestly.

I wasn't particularly fond of how the character was written. As an individual, it flowed how there was so much more to unpack. The intense avoidant detachment coming from it was insanely unhealthy for the sake of so-called friendship. Reading this has made me realize once again why the romance genres are so not my type of reading. Reeling away from processing grief, not facing reality, steering to convenience rather than actually living and not just merely passing by time, knowing someone just at arm's length, and settling for less—it follows a concept of the character's journey towards her perception and life in general. As the experience she endowed was distraughting enough, it's good overall, but it was icky for some reason. It's a shame I had to skip some parts because it just wasn't it.
