4.5/5

Wow, this book was amazing. The characters were well-written and I appreciate the way Mia's illness was written. My grandpa had kidney problems too so I know how horrible that might be. While the medical expenses seems ridiculous since I'm not American, it gave those two a reason to marry.

Their backstory was tragic but it made them who they are. Poor Noah, blaming himself for Nathan's death. And Mia, finding out about adoption like that.

I loved that while both of them had fears keeping them from following their dreams, they both gre up, together and separately, to face their fears and became stronger for it. The last 30% turned me into a sobbing mess but it was healing, mostly. I loved that book.

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. I laughed. I cried and my heart was soo full at the end of it.
I connected with both characters right away. And the author made an incredible job making them relatable. Loved it. Loved it.

Solid Friends To Lovers Romance. This is one of those books that takes a legitimately serious issue - insurance, insurance fraud, and organ transplants - and spins a charming and fun romance around it. Ashley manages to weave the ultra-serious in with the frivolous to great effect, enhancing both the seriousness and the fun while leaning more into the fun and romance. Overall a truly fun book, and a solid one for its end-of-summer release time frame. Very much recommended.

How did I find both characters simultaneously boring and yet melodramatic? It boggles the mind.
