I love that most of 37 Questions takes place over a single night—it makes everything feel so intimate and immediate, like being let in on a secret conversation between two people figuring out their place in each other’s lives. The concept alone hooked me, but what really made the book shine was how human and layered both Nora and Aiden felt.

Nora’s fibromyalgia representation was a standout for me. The way she navigated chronic pain—acknowledging it but not letting it consume her—felt real and deeply relatable. It’s rare to see disability and chronic illness portrayed with such nuance, and it made her feel even more authentic.

I also really appreciated how the book handled relationships, particularly Nora’s friendship with her ex. So often, breakups in books  (even if off-page) are either messy and dramatic or nonexistent, as if exes just vanish from existence. But here, it was refreshing to see two people recognize they worked better as friends and actually maintain that connection without unnecessary angst. It added depth to Nora’s character and made her feel even more grounded.

And then there’s Aiden—kind, thoughtful, and carrying his own quiet struggles. The way he and Nora answered the questions together, slowly peeling back layers of themselves, was captivating. Their chemistry was undeniable, but what really made their connection work was how deeply they saw each other.

The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is that it’s a pretty predictable rom-com. That’s not necessarily a bad thing—it delivers exactly what you’d expect, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves the genre. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does execute the formula really well. If you’re looking for a quick, enjoyable read with lovable characters and genuine emotional depth, 37 Questions is definitely worth picking up.
