Loved this story, especially all the meta references to romance (including the chapter titles). I really appreciated the scene

where Sewanee talks to Nick about his performance recording the audiobook—that could of easily turned into break up but I loved that they tabled the convo for the moment and the tenderness towards each other despite “the fight” still came through.

I really enjoy when authors make the effort to represent different, more mature approaches to conflict and communication. So refreshing and satisfying.

I also cried when Stu made his speech at their dinner and was giving fatherly advice to Nick. So sweet.
