How to End a Love Story by Yulin Kuang

emotional hopeful reflective sad

4.75

Taylor Swift songs: “I can see you (tv)”, “Dancing with our hands tied”

Age rating: 17+ (5 ish spicy scenes, 2/5🌶️)

The tension between them is sizzling, and the emotional vulnerability between them is amazing! I trust her 100% to write and direct Emily Henry’s films! Kuang made me feel so seen and supported and loved!! If you like dual pov, workplace, and where the MMC falls first and falls harder, this is for you!!! I loved getting to witness Grant love Helen the way that she deserves to be loved. It healed a little piece of my heart.

I also loved the focus on Helen and her parents’ relationship, specifically with being the child of immigrant parents! It was so well done! And Helen finding herself and her friendships/found family in her thirties!! I love it! 

This does deal with some very sensitive themes, so please read with care. I took more time reading this one for that reason.

Tw: suicide, grief, death
