The characters were more likeable than in SLD and had a bit more depth to them: more personality, hopes and dreams than just being obsessed with each other. I mean there was plenty of that too, but it was nice to have some personality independent of that. Armas explored injury and anxiety and the shame surrounding that a little bit which was interesting to read, within the context of a relationship, if a little superficial.
Things that improved it for me: Taco the dog - a dog will always make a book better for me. And it was a nice, easy read whilst stuck at home with Covid.

Rosie and Lucas are both loveable characters. I especially loved Rosie, not overly sweet or perfect, and 'flawed' just enough to be relatable without bring frustrating.

“‘Thank you.’ For listening. And for tonight. And for making me feel… less alone. A little less burdened, even if only for a little while. ‘I think I really needed to talk to someone, and I want to make sure you know.’”
