This book was slow-to-medium paced. I thought that it could have been edited differently to stay true to the story, but pick up the pace.
I'm not sure how I felt about Declan as a main character. On the one hand, relatable with his mental health struggles and the trying to figure oneself out in one's 20s. On the other hand, he seemed really immature and that person in the friend group that makes everything all about them. To balance that out, this story might have been benefitted from being told in alternatively POVs (Declan and Sidney), in order to develop Sidney's character a bit more and give the reader a break from Declan's POV.
