There should not be heartbreaking tragedy in romance. I'm glad this was not my first read of this author because I wouldn't trust any of her other books. However, I still got The Emotions at times and the writing was solid.

Really enjoyed this one! I enjoy Abby’s writing and thought this story had a lot of depth to it. Good character development and I enjoyed each of the characters - except the ex that shall not be named.

emotional inspiring lighthearted sad fast-paced

5.0

This is my original review from when I first read the paperpack:

This book started out light and funny and cute. Then it got deep. I couldn't put it down. Then I finished it and it made me moody and sad because lots of it hit way too close to home. Had I known some of the triggers would I have avoided reading it? Maybe. But maybe not. Sometimes we need to read the hard books. Sometimes we need to read the books that make us cry.
