All I can say is that this book feels like a warm hug, a warm hug from Bo. Bo is the greenest green flag that's ever existed. He was sweet and patient and understanding. He was definitely a fictional man because there is no way a real person like this could exist, but I loved it.
There is no third act break which was nice. I was worried the author was going to have the dad pass away because it was at the 80% point, but luckily he was just hung over. If she had done that I was going to throw the book and rate this 1 star. I'm so glad that didn't happen (lol).
Win and Bo are living their best life together and I am so happy for them!

Bo is just perfect in every way… UGH. I loved that their relationship was so peaceful.. no “third-act breakup” type of stuff, just the two of them figuring stuff out in the best way they can. It seemed so realistic, and I felt so connected to these 2 & their lives… Epilogue gave me TEARS
