Right people, this here is the comfort reading you need in your lives. Small-scale, wholesome, simple plot, very likeable characters and some nice character development. Entertaining melodramatics à la Bridget Jones but with a much gentler body image vibe. I also really liked the way Jeremy's mental health was handled (I have major beef with the whole 'then they got therapy and all their problems were solved' narrative that seems to happen a lot). Also running!
