This was a cute book, I really liked the concept behind it, of creating a fake boyfriend (based on a real person) and actually meeting/falling in love with him years later. I like romance books that are about moving on after the death of a spouse, idk why I guess because it's something that seems so awful it can be cathartic to read about people getting through it and coming out the other side. I also really liked Olivia and Rory's relationship with her. I do feel that the stuff with Rory's mom and just her overall growth as an individual could've been fleshed out a bit more but overall I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.
