A bit too long. I felt like the ending was a bit unbelievable, especially with all the grief and daily life going on, for an extremely ambitious grovel. Definitely felt half women's fiction half romance, working through death of a loved one and the grief. Then an insta-yet-so-slow-burn friends to lover type relationship between two super hesitant leads. I wanted more of the romance, relationship, good stuff and a lot less of the grief, sadness, and avoiding emotions. This also was just so cishet white family for me.
