This book is so sweet and so so real. It doesn’t take much willing suspension of disbelief to convince yourself that you could be Sadie—down on her luck, making mistakes, and struggling to cope with life as a whole—though maybe falling accidentally into the perfect house of the (flawed and human) “perfect” guy is more difficult to come by.
Sadie is sweet and confident and so easy to root for. She’s not unaware of her strengths as so many rom com characters are, but she is also able to wallow in her flaws as well.
Jack is a beautiful portrait of what it feels like to grieve and feel guilt for continuing to live after that grief begins to pass. He’s fiercely loving and lovable even at his weakest moments.
Top it all off with a great cast of side characters who form the sweetest found family I’ve read about in a while and a second romance to root for and you’ve got a truly incredible read.
