One-Star Romance by Laura Hankin
4.25
emotional funny hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I really loved this. Unlike many romances, the romance unfurls over a loooong period of time (like a decade) which I really appreciated. And the book is arguably as much about messy friendships and navigating your 20s as it is a love story, but I thought it was beautifully balanced. Laura Hankin is such a talented writer and I will definitely read more from her.
