A solid When Harry Met Sally homage, but with harsher truths and personal considerations than its inspiration. It was a tough read in some ways, given the repeated tendency of the main characters to act against their own interests. 

I think what I appreciated the most was having the FMC be the messiest, most unlikeable character. Ari was deeply flawed and completely unwilling to examine herself for so much of the story. It was a refreshing change of pace to not have the perfect lead for so long.

That's not to say that Josh was likeable - he clearly wasn't. These were two hurt people, hurting each other and those around them. Josh just seemed to understand that faster, another welcome change to most stories.
