Very good book that deals with the complexities of grief and family trauma, as well as identity within a career and relationships. This is still a romance book, but isn’t overly stuffed with tropes or abundantly romantic/cheesy; it felt very raw and emotional at certain points. The only thing that I didn’t love was that it was written in third person (which I don’t often read) but also has dual POV that can switch multiple times in a chapter. I’m glad I listened to the audiobook that had two narrators, otherwise I think that I would have easily lost whose perspective I was supposed to be reading. Definitely look up potential trigger warnings or themes in this book if you may be concerned.
