Jessica Joyce simply cannot stop writing emotional bangers disguised as romance novels! I adored this Friends to Lovers to Exes to FWB to Friends to Lovers ARC because these two were so perfect for each other in ways where they simply just HAD to grow up that I couldn't stop reading!
Eli and Georgia both deal with serious mental health concerns in this book, and I really appreciate that it wasn't love that fixed them but was instead both of their dedication to getting and being better. (YAY THERAPY!)
The underlying plot of planning their friends' wedding added a frantic energy to this book that made it impossible to put down.
I love books where characters have to get their shit together, and Joyce absolutely slayed with this one!
She mentioned a lot of songs in the acknowledgments, but I liked the mention of Your Needs, My Needs by Noah Kahan.
Best Line:

Best Line:
It’s a privilege to have someone trust you enough to show you those pieces of themselves, the most vulnerable and tender, the least polished.
