It should have ended at 49%. Predictability and unnecessary romantic bs ruined this in the second half.

I loved this very human take on love, relationships, and trauma. Mika made a trying decision as a young adult which comes back to impact her life in her 30s - navigating it, while dealing with professional and personal pitfalls, is a lesson in kindness, resilience, empathy, and more.

Thank you to William Morrow and Netgalley for the ARC.
