“The truth is, there’s no such thing as a normal life. There’s just the time you get and how you spend it. Love is always a risk.”
this book is basically one giant ‘would you rather have loved and lost, or never have loved at all?’ and honestly… I don’t know what my answer is anymore.
before going into this, i kept seeing reviews about people absolutely sobbing over it so i was fully prepared for my heart to be ripped out. was i emotional? absolutely. did i ugly cry? surprisingly no, but there were definitely moments where my chest just…hurt.
I loved the first part of the book, AJ and Noah’s chemistry was insane from the very beginning and watching them go from strangers to best friends (who occasionally think of kissing each other) was nice to read. & the final improv performances, ooof yeah that got me clutching my chest. the writing was so beautiful, the characters felt so human. messy, infuriating, irritational, but human. fear makes people do stupid things and this book captured that really well.
but! did we really have to go through the same cycle thousands of times??? it reached a point where it was just: i like you > we can’t be together > tension > sex > no actually we can’t be together > crying anger argh > repeat! I get it but also I just wanted to shake them both so hard, like get it together people!!!
overall, i really enjoyed this. it wasn’t perfect and i do think the middle dragged because of the constant push and pull, but it was also one of the most emotionally honest romances I’ve read in a while. life is messy. love is messy. and this book never tried to pretend otherwise.

a little terrified to start this, is this as emotionally wrecking as everyone says it is?
well here goes nothing
