I finished this one last week. I’ll start by saying that classifying this as a romance does it a disservice. Yes, there is romance and it’s one of the major parts of the story, but there’s so much more to it.

The portrayal of Will’s anxiety is my favorite thing about this book (the romance is a close second). The early scene at a work function captures so much of how I feel and what I worry about. When his friend, Klair, tries to help calm his anxiety so he doesn’t overreact to things, I can relate. 

The other big parts of this story are the brilliant, mysterious manuscript that is Will’s first big assignment at the publishing house he just stared working at, and Will’s relationships with his family. 

There‘s much more to enjoy in this novel than I anticipated, but the romance is only a close second for me.
