TW: multiple deaths of loved ones; off page cheating; heart attack; cancer

I’m very conflicted about how to rate this because I did pick it up as a romance book BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT’S LABELED AS, but it definitely isn’t. Was it still well written? Yes. Would I have read this had I known it wasn’t actually romance and the tropes that I love that I thought until the last 10% were what was going on, weren’t actually happening? No probably not. I sobbed for 15 minutes while reading it and after finishing it so obviously it tore at my heart but this was not properly categorized or advertised, and is more for fans of the tragic romances like Me Before You, the tragic Colleen Hoover books, etc. I don’t know how to either recommend this or not without spoiling it and idk if this would have as big of a punch with being spoiled. However, I don’t think people should be bamboozled like I was either so
