** spoiler alert ** For real. I go hard with the spoilers in my review. You have been warned...

When deciding whether to get this book as my Amazon First Read, I read the reviews from other people, and *everyone* said they cried the first 10 pages and the last 10 pages...
And dammit, but I DID cry the first ten pages. Dogs always get me... Don't worry though! The dog is fine! But the way she describes Fletcher saying goodbye to his dad... that got to me. We always see the human saying goodbye to their pet, very rarely do we get to see the good doggo saying goodbye to their beloved owner. That moved me...

The rest of the novel was funny, cute, face-palm-inducing, and a tad predictable, but not enough to make me bored. I enjoyed our MFC and MMC interactions and the way their story is told through flashbacks and memories interwoven into the present.

I kind of checked out of the story on page 284, when the story pivots to her deciding she wants to have a baby all by herself to complete her life. Kids are really not my thing, and the idea that a whole love story or whole life only being "complete" with kids is kinda gross. So while I get her decision, it kind of made the rest of the book meh for me.

And yes, the last ten pages are very melancholy, but it is the end that we all will come to eventually, and she seems to have had a good life, so it seemed mostly bittersweet to me. No crying there.

Brass tacks: Would I buy this book if I hadn't gotten it through Amazon First Reads? Probably Not
Did I enjoy it? Yes, it was well written, gave me feels (that I didn't expect to have) and was a cute angsty romance. If that's your genre jam, I recommend it highly!
