I LOVED this book!!!! From the very first pages it’s absolutely hilarious, the narrative voices are really distinct and cute, and it manages to tackle some really heavy subjects in a clear, focused way that doesn’t make you doubt the severity of these issues in real life while also working towards the happy ending you hope is coming. 
Although let’s be honest, this book would be a 5/5 for the punch pizza mention alone

I laughed, I cried and I seethed with anger. WHAT A BOOK! The romance is grounded in the kind of day-to-day love that is uncharacteristicly authentic for this genre. The main characters are going through it in two different but traumatic ways but it’s handled so well! The empathy and forgiveness is palpable and the maturity of the main relationship and secondary relationships are brilliant! The main characters act their age and are true to their backstories. The twists and turns and seriousness of this book took my by surprise in such a fantastic way! 20/10 ⭐️
