I'm not the biggest romance fan out there, but I really enjoyed this one with the slight litfic-ness to it with MC's introspection as she handles her challenges, while also bagging a hot guy (or two). Emotional but not too thirsty, this felt like a breath of fresh air to me and was super satisfying, even when the storyline hit all the romance tropes, including but not limited to the third act break-up scene.

The author's note at the back of the book is a great anthem for romance book lovers everywhere.
