I actually think 3 stars is generous of me. Her sister’s death doesn’t get really delved into even a little bit until chapter 22, yet this is the whole reason these two think they can’t or shouldn’t be together (this is not a spoiler - comes up almost immediately). There’s never an acknowledgement that there’s also the matter of workplace sexual harassment (he works for her!!!). The book would’ve been better if it dealt with her relationship with her sister and parents more instead of minimally in the last few chapters. Also needed to address Grant’s psyche more instead of just surface cover.

A beautiful story of grief, forgiveness, and mutual healing. My heart broke and then was mended.

4.5

Very good book that deals with the complexities of grief and family trauma, as well as identity within a career and relationships. This is still a romance book, but isn’t overly stuffed with tropes or abundantly romantic/cheesy; it felt very raw and emotional at certain points. The only thing that I didn’t love was that it was written in third person (which I don’t often read) but also has dual POV that can switch multiple times in a chapter. I’m glad I listened to the audiobook that had two narrators, otherwise I think that I would have easily lost whose perspective I was supposed to be reading. Definitely look up potential trigger warnings or themes in this book if you may be concerned.
