2.75

I couldn’t get into this book very much. I felt like the pacing was off and I couldn’t quite get into connecting to the characters. Each character had a good story and I felt like I was missing so much of each one. I mostly wanted more. More detail and less extra busyness that didn’t add to the story. I enjoyed another perspective, though and appreciated that a lot.

This was a literary romance with serious heft to it and I devoured it in two days. It felt like all of the things I love about well done literary fiction mashed up with an underlying romance novel. I loved that it didn’t fit neatly into either genre, but if you’re used to reading more traditional, lighthearted romance books check the content warnings on this one before diving in because there are a LOT of them. Ultimately, I loved how real these characters felt because of the difficult life circumstances they experienced and I thought the writing was gorgeous. I highly recommend this to folks who don’t typically read romance as an entry point into the genre if you’re curious!

The characters were very interesting. I loved the chronic illness/invisible disability representation.  

The time jumps and non-linear storytelling was necessary, I think, for the story to unfold in the most impactful way. 

I was left wanting to be more connected to the characters. The reader always felt held at an arms length away due to the writing POV. Just a personal preference. 

Was an easy cute read. I enjoyed it.
