emotional hopeful medium-paced

4.5

I would never have pegged this as my kind of book, it it has so much more depth than the lighthearted rom com I imagined it was.

The tension between the two leads was frustrating to witness, but ultimately an enjoyable read. This story has elements of romance, angst and is written like a fanfic, but mostly focuses on processing trauma and grief. It also displays the inaccessibility of medical systems and a toxic parental relationship.

I wish Tate's character were developed a bit more since her persona fell a bit flat to me. We really go much deeper on Penny and Penny's family. Aspects of Tate and Penny's relationship feel unrealistic,

especially given that they grew up together. I didn't get the impression that they hated each other even though they kept saying they did. I guess they just hate loved each other the whole time (lol??).

While reading I felt confused about what they have going on there. There's a lot of drama that I didn't really get; it felt unnecessarily intense at times. There are parts that were hard to read. I'm definitely not going to jump into or raft in a river any time soon.

I genuinely enjoyed this (audio) book! The characters all have their own personality, with both strengths and flaws. There's some very serious stuff, but all of it is handled beautifully. No loose ends or questions left unanswered by the end, which is fantastic! <3

Did not expect this to make me feel so much. Close to tears for most of the last part but it was so good.
