Overall, this was a heartfelt and beautiful read. Lots of moments of fun and wittiness with the perfect wrapped up ending.
Also bonus points to the author for actually writing a realistic and not annoying miscommunication troupe. Bravo - it should be studied by authors everywhere.

However, and this isn’t the authors’ fault, the cover makes this seem more like literacy fiction, and this is more like of a contemporary, comedy…romance (it wasn’t really romantic but it also wasn’t NOT romantic). Due to how many heavy themes this had, I think it might have worked better as lit fic, but the comedy did help the digestability I think.
I’m excited to read more from this author!
