A heartbreaking story of love between two people and how they tear their own love apart. Reminded me a lot of The Last Five Years for obvious reasons if you've seen the play, and I cried through the last chapter but that honestly doesn't take much lately. 😅 

If you want what this is giving, watch The Last Five Years or A Marriage Story. 💔

It took me a little bit to be fully sucked in but I loved this spin on When Harry Met Sally! I was sold on Josh pretty much right away but it took a while to warm to and fall in love with Ari as well. I love the bisexual representation but her personality low keyed sucked for a while. 😅 Eventually I did come to understand her and love the two of them. When the love declaration finally happened I sobbed. And I loved the last chapter. 🥹

Kulti is just a perfect lil sexy grump but I hope I never see the phrase "Big Girl Socks" again for the rest of my life.
