4.5
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.

Leon and Tiffy were amazing and I absolutely loved them. They felt real and flawed and were adorable together. Leon is now one of my favourite heroes ever.

The characters are loveable and relatable, the plot was character centred (which, for me, is the best type of plot) and despite some of the heavy themes I never felt weighed down by it. I rooted for Tiffy and Leon from the start and the ending was nothing but satisfying to read. Definitely recommend it.
The only reason it missed out on five stars is because I still felt like I could put it down - for a book to get five I have to be captured wholly and unable to stop reading, even for toilet breaks.
