that epilogue was so perfect i read it 2 mins ago and i am in awe
this was so good i loved the characters and the side plots as well as the main, it really took the one bed trope to the extreme and it couldnt have been more amazing, i love beth o'learys writing it feels so homely to me

This was cute, but I felt like it dragged a bit. Also, I am not a fan of romance books that have secondary plots aside from the romantic one, and this book did that. But still, I do think this would make a great movie.

Very very cute, although not exactly an unforgettable romcom. The alternating POVs were nice — I was especially taken with Leon's terse but vivid narration!
Props to the author for how she handled the theme of PTSD from a toxic relationship.

I thought this was a cute book! It was a little slow to get into at first, and Leon’s style or narration sort of bothered me, but those are minor faults. I liked that the romance developed over time, and that the characters had their own lives instead of being with each other 24/7. Overall a sweet romance book that dealt with difficult topics (abusive ex and prison).
