Thank you to the authors, Shadelandhouse Modern Press and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I do love epistolary novels, and this one is well done, with a flawless mix of face-to-face dialogue, texts and e-mails. This is especially notable because it's co-written by two persons, one known more for their poetry, and the other more known for their parenting books.
But oh, did I get fed up with the two main characters. So immature, insecure, indecisive and prone to thinking the worst and believing it - rather than just speaking openly and honestly with each other, and getting on with life either together or separately. It felt like forever to get to a kind of happy end.
