UGH this was so good. This hit a sweet spot for me, a new genre of books that I am falling in love with that I'll dub "New England 90's Rom Com Cozy" or something similar. This hit the same notes I was looking for in Writers and Lovers and while I'm sure there are literary critiques that are valid of this book, I am blind to them currently just for how much this hit my wants and desires in books currently. I liked the mix of serious problem setup and satisfying resolution, and even if parts of the ending felt predictable, it felt well executed and refreshing still. It was heartfelt, very tenderly written, and compelling from start to finish. The beginning grabbed my attention and the rest kept me going, wondering (similar to Phoebe whenever she watches or reads anything with a wedding) how the wedding was going to go even if I thought I knew what was going to happen. I really enjoyed this and would highly reccommend!
