Review: This was a hard-earned happily ever after. These two deal with a number of personal issues that make finding love complicated. The topics are heavy, and there were definitely some tears but not so much as to swallow you under. This friends-to-lovers story was really sweet in the way that they both showed each other love, even if they weren’t always great at saying it. And they both had their struggles, and though this was a single POV, I liked that it gave the relationship a strong basis of give and take. I really liked that this was a messy relationship (life gets like that) and it remains so even in the happy ending (because HEA doesn’t mean life is perfect). But throughout the story they mess up, they learn and change and grow and learn how to love each other through the messiness, and there’s joy and sweetness and it was a satisfying story.
