“You’ll do what the rest of us do,” he finally says. “And just make it work today.”

I am - and I cannot stress this enough - an absolute mess right now.

For someone that is extremely picky when it comes to romance books, I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did and I damn sure wasn't expecting to cry. three. separate. times. This was so heartfelt and warm and lovely and cheesy and funny and hopeful and I just? cannot quite put into words how much I loved this book. You know when you watch the kind of movie or read the kind of book that makes you want to live and see the world in a different way? This is that kind of book.

Was it a perfect book? Maybe not. But was it easily my favorite romance book I've ever read? Did it make me believe in love again? Yes. Yes it did.

Also, brief thank you to Darling Desi because hearing how much she loved it is the reason I picked up the book in the first place and I'm so glad I did (if that wasn't already clear.)

If you're like me and picky about romance books, I sincerely do recommend this.
