i enjoyed reading afterlove earlier this year, so i was excited for this book! this was less romantic, and i would classify it as a contemporary novel rather than a romance, but i still enjoyed it. i appreciated the discussions surrounding breaking cycles. i personally think the mental illness aspect was handled well, but mine is just one opinion of many, so be mindful of this when going in.
