This was a little weird and trippy. I’m not sure how I feel about Willow and MG’s heavily-under-the-influence hook up and marriage, but I did love the way the characters talked about healing and relationships. The premise is that Willow and MG both have past trauma from toxic relationships when they meet at a summer festival- high they hook up and get married only to realise the magnitude of what they’ve done when they sober up and have to deal with the strong feelings they have for each other. I enjoyed this overall. My main issue was the fact that some of this felt a little dreamy and hard to identify what was real and what wasn’t. The way MG loved Willow and articulated that love was everything and the communication between the MCs was solid.
