I am fuzzy on the details of the live hypothesis, but I do distinctly remember scenes I found less appealing and more problematic when reading it. With this one though I felt much more in line with the characters and their motivations even when they were experiencing problems or doing wrong things. Both characters were fun to learn about and spend time with, though I do think this book really would’ve gone to the next level if it were duel perspective. 

This book was fun and funny and a great read for some solid relaxing crochet time. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys flawed main characters who actually recognize their problems and work on them. If you enjoyed other books by this author I’m confident this one will be close to the top of your list. 

The main conflict and resolution was particularly refreshing. There was no miscommunication, more a reconciliation of old conflicts. The two characters both worked on their end of things and came together as adults who wanted the relationship to work. Very refreshing!!

This book as some spice, but I would say it’s pretty tame. The characters face misogyny and other concerning behaviors from outside characters, but it’s not the center of the story, and both characters work together to address it (also refreshing).
