3.5

My favorite thing about this book was how Evie has a mother/daughter relationship with her boss Joanna and then goes on to have the a mother/daughter relationship with Sam. When Joanna and Evie talk about it and Joanna says something alone the lines of “and how you feel complete? I know because that’s how I felt when I met you.” Oh I broke down in tears. 

Honestly, I was less invested in the romance aspect in this book and way more invested in Evie & Joanna’s relationship and Evie & Sam’s relationship. Give me healing maternal storylines over romance any day. 

I would’ve rated this higher if Sarah Adams had epilepsy herself. Disability representation is ALWAYS nice but it’s nicer if it’s by us, for us. 😌
