An interesting little novella - I loved that we were watching everything unfold in real time over the course of a single night.

Both Shera and Max are surrounded by the ghosts of past relationships, haunted by ways they were hurt and ways they were cruel. It’s an exploration of vulnerability, intimacy, and processing past pain in order to open yourself up to something new.

It’s simple and realistic, but all of the conflict is centered around exes and past flings, which is not really what I like to read about (and not necessarily the best way to start a potential new relationship). Both leads can also be a bit hard to like. I think they needed to go talk to professionals more than each other! 

Still kind of cutesy, still kind of tender, but a bit too cheesy at times for me. 

CW: infidelity, alcohol, panic attacks, sexual content
