emotional lighthearted slow-paced

i dont love revenge plots, the conflict was predictable, and it took me a while to get into the story, but i ended up liking it! the writing was good, the ending was really nice, and i think the “she saves him right back” thing was really well done! i am intrigued to see what sarah maclean does w the rest of these characters in this series.

emotional
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

i liked many aspects of this book, like the storyline, the lack of 3rd act breakup, and the mental health rep. but i didnt like the epilogue. i also didnt really like the characters’ personalities?? like i thought their mental health issues were well done but i didn’t really care about the people that they were outside of that, and i wasn’t attached to them. maybe that makes me shitty. idk.

tessa dare is wonderful. this was just lovely. the female friendships. the male friendships. ALL the friendships. i wasn’t completely sold by the first half but the second half made my heart grow three sizes like the grinch. i love gabe & penny

this had the signature kate bateman charm & sense of adventure, but i wished the characters were a little more developed. i appreciated the lack of a baby in the epilogue tho!!!!
