    I genuinely didn’t know how to start this review without screaming about that epilogue… because WOW. I cried actual tears for ten whole minutes. A POV from a dog?? Julie Olivia woke up and chose emotional devastation.

    But let me talk about the book before I spoil myself into chaos.

    A lot of reviewers mention the miscommunication trope being frustrating — and they’re right. But here’s the thing: this book is set in the 90s. It’s built like a classic 90s romcom, flaws and all. And honestly? Healthy communication wasn’t exactly a widespread skill back then. When I look at the characters through a 2025 lens, sure, I wish they handled things better. But as a millennial who grew up in that era? This is exactly how we would’ve acted. Messy. Emotional. Human.

    As for the vibes? The marketing promised cozy fall nostalgia, Gilmore Girls energy, and small-town warmth — and it absolutely delivers. It feels like crunching leaves, sweater weather, and a mug of something warm in book form.

    And then the epilogue absolutely destroyed me. In the best way.
