Spoiler I am extremely conflicted about the ethics of having sex with your late best friend's fiance right after her funeral. but grief makes people do weird things and I don't feel like the actions make Dannie and Aaron inherently bad people.
Spoiler this is one of the best written modern, quick, romance-style books I've read. I got very immersed and didn't want to put it down. this book taught me something without making me feel like an elementary schooler looking for a "moral". will be recommending to friends. EDIT after explaining the plot to to friends, I have realized how messed up it all actually is and I think I have to bring my rating down for morality. still a fantastic reading experience tho.
