Oh my goodness! What a totally delightful book! It was heartwarming and romantic while also filled with snarky dialogue as well as some difficult challenges that both main characters had to figure out.
There were laugh-out-loud moments, lump in the throat moments, and deep sighs of satisfactions. Challenging family situations and, most importantly of all, some really great writing! I also enjoyed how Henry addressed the whole snobbery about rom-coms and women's fiction with clever humor without being defensive or preachy. Well done, Ms. Henry!
Some scattered profanity and a few sexual situations but not too porny and graphic.
Many, many thanks to my GR friends for your great reviews and letting me know about this book. This one's a keeper and a definite future re-read.

"Loving the snark. Just had a LOL moment with the dialogue. So far no profanity which is a pleasant surprise."

"“Happy. Not giddy or overjoyed, but that low, steady level of happiness that, in the best periods of life, rides underneath everything else, a buffer between you and the world you are walking over.�"
