Liked it more than Astrid but not as much as Delilah. If it was just the MCs & romance they would be comparable -but Delilah’s story was also her confronting her past & her found family story. I liked the 2 MCs -BUT Stevie’s anxiety as a plot device was very inconsistent & it felt like Iris only became a write so AHB could make jokes about blowing your ideas on the 1st book (& Iris is the best actress anyone has ever seen on her first day- what?)
Iris resolves nothing NOTHING with her family, side characters have dubious motivations. It’s normal to swear off love after a string of bad relationships & come around when the right one comes along, everyone was being v dramatic

And I feel like the wrong character gets the grand gesture. Like I get it from an “Iris DOES do romance” perspective -but the whole thing is that no one treated her like she was worth it and then Stevie calls her a coward & needs to be chased down? What?
