A soft pick for me only because I just don't love contemporary romance. The characters are great, the writing is great, the second chance after young love- great! But the stakes are just never there for me in contemporary.
Ryan tackles a lot here in terms of plot and emotion, and she ties it all together extremely well. Like, there's a lot here but it never feels like *discourse* if you know what I mean. A strong read, just not my particular thing
