“We’re still individuals, but we’re individuals together, and I never knew relationships could be like this.”
This book seemed to have everything I wanted in a romance book, which made me fall in love with the characters, the beautiful writing, and the portrayal of a healthy relationship.
This book tackled essential topics such as great communication, therapy, toxic friendships, consent, eating disorders, anxiety, and mental health awareness to have a good foundation for a healthy relationship. The great communication is the highlight of the book because it shows the maturity and respect each of the main characters has by still communicating with each other despite the conflict.
“I'm beginning to think you know me really well, Hawkins.”
“Of course, I know you really well, Anastasia. You’re my favorite subject.”
This has the best friend group with how much they care and love each other. It showed so many wholesome and heartwarming moments with each interaction of the characters. It made me smile and feel content even in the littlest moments since there were no dull chapters. This book is just a big warm hug!
The characters were amazingly portrayed with their thoughts and opinions with their actions throughout the story. They were honest and kind, responsible and compassionate. They were all lovable characters, especially Henry with his big heart, Nate being so thoughtful and caring with everything he does, and Stas being so patient and hardworking. You couldn't help but admire them all!
This book is so well done and is an excellent debut novel.
