I found a lot to relate to with both main characters, and while that made this incredibly enjoyable for the first half, I found that the second half really lost focus and pace. Third act breakups aren't inherently a bad thing, but I found that the execution of this one didn't actually correspond to effective character growth for either Grant or Helen. This does deal with grief, loss, perfectionism and relationships in a really effective way however, so I'm excited for more from the author.
