thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an arc!!!!

rainbow rowell’s writing gets me EVERY TIME. how is it so poetic and beautiful yet simple and relatable??? the tone of the writing of this book felt like eleanor and park x landline. because parts of it felt so similar to eleanor and park, i was scared it wouldnt have an hea, but no worries my friends, this book DESERVES its romance designation! i loved how absolutely GONE cary was for shiloh. i just wish he talked a little more about why he liked her, because she was pretty unlikable, but i didnt mind lol. one thing i loved about shiloh was how much she loved to bother him as a way to show love <3 it was so relatable for me specifically. one thing i DIDNT love about shiloh was that she changed her stance about the navy, because the fact that he was in the navy was probably my least favorite thing about cary. the end of this book dragged a little, and i would have enjoyed an epilogue, but it was still a good read!!
