tw: Alzheimer’s

This book is a walking contradiction for me. I actively disliked our main character, but I adored the love interest (I don’t get many book boyfriends these days but he makes the list!) It was super easy to read, but I didn’t feel super motivated to pick it up. It was very self aware about it’s rom-com influences (talk of tropes like only sharing one bed or grand gestures) but in a way that overly beat you over the head with it. Some of the characters were way over the top in a way that was grating, and I would have liked to be in more than just Chloe’s head the whole time (a dual POV would have been great).

I didn’t read the first book in this series because I heard such mixed things and I can see why. This would probably have been a slightly lower rating, but Nick the love interest is so great that I bumped it up a star.
