That was such a great book! So fun. She was so funny and lighthearted.  He was so grumpy and reliable and devoted to his son.  Soo good.  So many moments I loved! When she injured hiking and he goes to where she said she’s hiking because he worried about her. As he should be. She seems to constantly get into these situations.  It was so emotional and such a slow burn.  The the subtle moments were so impactful.   Absolutely recommend.

It was a little too long. It dragged in some places. I really liked how their relationship developed though I didn't care for the nicknames situation -

Buddy (the Elf) is a cringey nickname and her thinking angel was him misremembering her name was just goofy.

I really liked the pacing as I felt it gave me a lot of room to get to know the characters and be invested when the slow burn paid off but I think it could've cut 10-20% of the telling herself her every thought in real time. Still a big fan and would read again. Also another small criticism

While cathartic, the mic drops on the ex and ex-MIL went a little too smoothly. Like.. is this a reliable narrator? levels of smooth lol

Worth the read? Yes

This book had me literally annoyed when I had to put it down. The only reason that it is not 5⭐️ is because of the third act conflict, as it felt like a mildly stupid argument which did get resolved in a cute way. Very good main characters with strong backstories and motives, and side characters were very lovable.
