It's also solid epistolary literature. The way the chapters transition from one of their notes/letters to a relevant scene is awesome. It feels so natural.
I appreciate that the book covers more than just their romance, too. I like the prison subplot, how it shows what people might be like when justice fails and truth is suppressed. And the look into publishing, and hospice even moreso, is interesting.
I didn't give a full 5 because I prefer having an up-close-and-personal look into characters, but this felt a bit bird's-eye at times.
I give both Carrie Hope Fletcher and Kwaku Fortune 4.5/5⭐️'s. And the only reason they're not higher is probably (unfortunately) not thier fault. The production left in a lot of mouth sounds. The tracks should have been edited better.

I had no idea what deep subjects are in this book, but I was positively surprised.
In the beginning I was kinda annoyed by Tiffy, but learning with her about her past and her changing makes you look on the beginning differently.
Over all, while I am not a total fan of the writing in Leon's parts, I really enjoyed this book and finished it quickly, because you can hardly stop reading!

Switching between perspectives, we see Leon’s story as a night shift palliative care nurse mirrored against Tiff’s story as an editor at a publishing house, newly single and still getting over a break up.
Tiff has such a great support network which is a great example of quality over quantity when it comes to friendships.
This was a lighthearted read while also touching on some more serious issues. Through Tiff’s story we see an abusive relationship, showing how harmful manipulation and gaslighting can be. Tiff’s friends Gerty and Mo put it best that they couldn’t have forcibly removed her from her toxic situation, she had to come to the realisation herself. I loved Leon’s supportive approach, he is such a great guy.
