Good for: People who want a contemporary romance with a little bit of spice and a heaping side of grief. Perfect for those trying to learn to love life again.
Not great for: People who want something super lighthearted OR something on the spicy side.

The ending with the letters had me wanting to break down and cry, it was so beautiful and full circle and sweet and UGH I LIKED IT OK
The romance was wonderful, I loved Gus, that moody, leaning, secretive, little bastard.
At times, January’s inner monologue got a smidge repetitive as she constantly circling back to her daddy issues, but understandably so considering the circumstances, I guess.
Also having characters named both January and AUGUSTus - Emily had some fun. Good for her, we love months!
Overall, a really fun vacation read! Thanks for the rec, Lizzie!
