Content warnings: sexual harassment/assault, abusive exes and second husbands, mentions of eating disorders and fatphobia/diet culture. Some of it is directly addressed and some is not.
Read until 1AM despite having work the next day-really couldn’t put it down. This is a slow burn, circumstantially star-crossed lovers type of romance. The tension between Georgina and Lucas is palpable. Side note: I understood almost none of the British actors, movie or bands mentioned, but that is my uncouth American showing through.
HOWEVER, I struggle with the big reveal (which let’s be real we all knew was coming), and the male lead changing his mind because of it. He’s apologetic for sure, and says that he wouldn’t have said lots of what he said past and present had he known, but despite these proclamations, there is some part of it that doesn’t sit right with me. The conversation in the kitchen addresses a lot of it, but I still feel oddly about it.
