I love a good book that helps me think about life while providing a feel-good story too.

Somehow, in the end, I felt it all was a bit rushed and thrown together. I felt there were a decent number of things to pack up, and it was completed in a few chapters. Sometimes, I also struggle with the “Friend Zone” narrative (at times, don’t you want to bang your head on the wall and be like, ‘of course, they’re in love with you’???). That trope was much more relatable in this book than others, but sometimes it can be frustrating to read. Lastly, at times, I felt like Vanessa and Adrian's relationship was intense – I liked their banter and respect for one another, but sometimes it all felt a bit too much.

With that said, I liked the characters (all of them). I appreciated the nuance of each character and how they responded to their upbringing and trauma. The story flowed well, and it was understandable. The “One Day Syndrome” hit a little bit too hard, and I am looking forward to thinking about that more in my life. The last thing I enjoyed about this book was that it was from both Vanessa’s and Adrian’s points of view – I find this writing helpful for painting an overall picture of the story. Overall, I thought this book was good and I somewhat recommend it for a rom-com or love story (even with some more serious topics involved!).
