This was a literary romance with serious heft to it and I devoured it in two days. It felt like all of the things I love about well done literary fiction mashed up with an underlying romance novel. I loved that it didn’t fit neatly into either genre, but if you’re used to reading more traditional, lighthearted romance books check the content warnings on this one before diving in because there are a LOT of them. Ultimately, I loved how real these characters felt because of the difficult life circumstances they experienced and I thought the writing was gorgeous. I highly recommend this to folks who don’t typically read romance as an entry point into the genre if you’re curious!
