A cute romance with an interesting meet-cute! The cover of this book is absolutely gorgeous! I really enjoyed reading it as a beach read!

The characters just didn't quite work for me. I just found Emma and Justin to be kind of bland at best and kind of depressing at worst. Neither Justin nor Emma seemed ready for a committed relationship by the end of the book. Justin was bizarrely codependent from the moment he met Emma and Emma had attachment issues that very obviously needed therapy to address. 

The tone of this book confused me so much. Half of the time the tone was lighthearted romcom with a quirky meet-cute. The other half of the time it was very serious as it tackled issues like Emma's childhood abandonment/trauma and Justin taking custody of his siblings.   

Finally (and this isn't a valid criticism, it just bothered me so much), the constant references to reddit felt very milennial, and not in a good way.
