“He fit so perfectly into the love story I’d imagined for myself that I mistook him for the love of my life.”

Well this was just CUTE! This has definitely been a hyped up book around my bookstagram feed lately and I’ve been super excited for it. The premise sounded fun and the start of summer is always a great time for a rom-com.

I was not disappointed! The characters were great— I loved the dorkiness and charm of both January and Gus and their romance was definitely swoon-worthy. It was so adorable to see their relationship evolve after their college days (even if there were some moments when I wanted to strangle them and scream WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!)

While it’s overall a cute, quick read, there’s absolutely some underlying darkness in the plot. Trigger warnings for death of a parent, infidelity, cults, and childhood/domestic abuse. Despite the dark undertones, I think Henry did a good job balancing it out with the silliness of the characters and the heartwarming romance. Will for sure be looking out for more books by this author in the future!
