DNF'd 13/34 chapters in.
I'm too dumb for it and/or the author's writing is too pretentious for my taste.
A second chance romance that I started at approximately 6:30PM last night and stayed up until almost 3AM to finish because I was utterly consumed.
A second chance romance where the leads, Harriet and Wyndham, are compelling as individuals and believable as a couple.
A second chance romance where the cast surrounding the couple has depth and nuance to their characters.
A second chance romance where these characters feel like flesh and blood human beings to the point that—particularly with the depictions of the numbness of depression and the anxiety of fear of abandonment and of expectations—there was emotional catharsis for me reading it.
A second chance romance about listening to and loving yourself so that you can truly listen to and love others.
This book is my happy place.
