This book is perfect for fans of The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce, it similarly balances love and grief with the backdrop of trips. I really felt for Maddie. She had been through it- on top of losing her beloved brother Josh, her mom is a grade A narcissist. She is still healing the wounds of abandonment (All You Had To Do Was Stay is her Taylor song). Dom is steady and responsible, which is a burden in a different way. The two of them clearly clicked even with Maddie’s constant goading. It was beautiful seeing them reunite, but I wish they talked out their issues from the last much sooner. They both deserved that honesty. I do wish the pacing was a little faster earlier on so that the ending could’ve not been quite as rushed.
