Klune is best to read in a slump. These simple romances with dynamic character and character relationships are such an easy and fun read. Extremely entertaining.

I had a bit of a hard time getting into this one. The start is immediately captivating but it slows considerably for a while before it picks back up again. Then it really runs.

I love the main characters. Yes, even the manager. Some side characters were very one dimensional, which is fine I suppose. But a lot of them seemed to serve the same purpose. Having a raging one for Hugo. Fr

The ending,
look I’m all for the romance and the happy ending. I still don’t think Wallace should’ve been brought back to life. Unless there is a sequel in the works, then ok fine. But seriously the heartbreak of it all would’ve been so good. However, I was here for something feel good and it delivered so can’t fault it for that.


The writing is simple and easy. It does make me cringe sometimes,  but like I’m a good way. Like I’m a teen again reading fic again. A bit repetitive and on the nose. However, again it’s exactly what makes it an easy read and doesn’t feel demeaning to the reader.

A cute and simple read littered with depressing ideas.

This story is absolutely wonderful. I had moments of laughing out loud, I had moments of tears, I had moments of reflection on my own life on dealing with grief, life decisions, choices, and being okay with the unknown.

I will say a trigger warning for this book is suicide, not graphic but discussed quite a few times, there is a warning at the front of the book but I would say an extra caution to those who this may be a sensitive topic for.
