I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I can see why Yulin Kuang was hired to adapt Emily Henry's books; both authors are adept at creating beautiful romances from honest, vulnerable portrayals of grief and trauma. Truthfully, I was less convinced by Helen and Grant's romance and insta-lust than I thought I'd be (though the forced proximity helps here), but their chemistry is visceral enough to make them intriguing. I also appreciated that both acknowledge the amount of healing they had to do from Michelle's suicide.
