my friend got me this book and it fits perfectly in my idea of a perfect book: a close reading of two characters in a romantic relationship who are used as vehicles for looking at other topics. here, sam and lucas represent not just the pitfalls of modern day dating, but also individual freedom, grief, reproductive rights, body dysmorphia, to name a few. i loved the use of after/before in the chapters, made me enthralled to read what was next. this book is basically a rom com with more depth and lots of heart, and i found myself smiling and hugging my copy by the end.
