This is a gorgeous contemporary romance novel. This is a Love Story.
I love the characters and this story unfold and I really like the exploration of what it means to deserve love. The pacing is perfect, the writing is mature, and the story is romantic and heartwarming.
The book does have some darker/heavier content like addiction, self-harm, and childhood neglect, but never turns into black trauma - it doesnt revel in these issues. Rather these issues are used to help us understand our characters and who they were in their darkest moments. It's masterfully done, because I check-out immediately at any sign of trauma pork, but at no moment did I want to put this novel down.
