I really enjoyed this one more than the first book; I thought the romance was more solid than in the first novel. There were a few quirks/phrases in the writing that appeared frequently enough to start to bug me, but overall I recommend!!

I'm glad this book exists because the representation (folks of color, body positivity, main character w/ chronic illness, burnout, etc.) is solid, and it's great to see it normalized in romance. I also loved the fun, silly abandon of Chicago summer; it reminded me of my years spent in the city. 

The writing, unfortunately, doesn't flow well; there are many moments that feel stilted and awkward or inserted for the sake of inclusion rather than incorporated into the story. (The narrator for the audiobook does an admirable job with what she's given, though.) The chemistry between Russell and Sam also felt off--that might have had something to do with how persistent Russell was at the beginning, though.
