this is a really really tough book to rate. i loved the premise and i think the author executed it perfectly. it was so interesting to learn ab face blindness.

i was really put off by the MMC’s phone conversation the FMC overheard on the elevator. it was really fatphobic, and even though it was a miscommunication, it just didn’t sit right with me. there are much less harmful ways to lead the FMC to dislike the MMC, ones that don’t require the reader/listener to be exposed to such harsh and hurtful rhetoric.

i also found the FMC to be really clueless at times (this does not at all include her face blindness) which i just really can’t stand in books.

so i think i’m going to stick this at a 2.5 rounded up
