Overall 3.85. Fun read at first and good subject matter but I’d like the author to give it another go at it and tighten up the writing and maybe actually make it more deep (to quote Riley) and exploring three main characters vs adding new ppl and keeping it surface with their “faults.” (Addiction, ocd like tendency, narcissist)). But I guess that wouid be a totally dif book and I need to take this as a fluffy rom com which is why it’s a 3.85 despite disliking the last 100 pages.

The story was engaging as it wove together different perspectives and allowed us to see the progression of individual character development. I appreciate that each of the characters had relatable archetypes and storylines that identified with common themes we experience (I.e loneliness and confronting truth/authenticity with vulnerability). Over the course of the book each character became more life like. I liked that I could identify with each of the characters in different ways and it made me think about my the parts of myself that are less authentic

My last little post-it note was: impressive, humbling, normal, and healthy. No shock, intense conflict, or overnight massive changes; some important discomfort, healthy growth, and true love.

It was five stars for me because it was so calm and relatable, these felt like real people, not characters or archetypes.
