THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL ROMCOM FIX

oh god... i have no words... I went into this book thinking I'd be reading a quick, light fluffy with slight angst to fix me up, WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT WAS TO BE ATTACKED BY PAIN AND ANGSTINESS OF THE DRAMA!?

I knew shit was about to go down at around 40% — our pair Graham and Soraya were so perfectly happy and seems to have found their footing SO EARLY in on the book. Y'all, lemme tell you, when I realized this, that's when I started SWEATING and my heart STARTED POUNDING! then the plot twist happened at around 50% and I the sweating and anxiety turned full out meltdown! I was like, "WHAT THE FUCK?! HOLY SHIT" No kidding you, I literally yelled that out SO LOUD 😭

Anyway, this book was tough to get through — not because of the writing or whatnot, no. IT WAS BECAUSE I COULDN'T HANDLE THE ANGST AND THE PAIN! My heart still aches for Graham and Soraya — they know they're it for each other but life keeps throwing curveballs at them and I'm... after the shit they went through, I'm so happy that they stood strong. Also the fact that this book has a HEA made me realize that if this were to happen in real life? I doubt Graham and Soraya would have found their way back to each other again, but it's a fiction where everything is righted and we get a happy ending — I'm just glad I got to read a book like this with such DEPTH and HEARTWARMING tale.


Definitely 5 stars — both for being a surprise punch you in the gut angst hidden behind your typical romcom book from two known romcom queen authors that wrote this. This one certainly feels like THAT gem hidden behind piles of stuff.


Definitely recommending this to anyone who wants to read a heartwarming tale of romance and about life in general.
