This book is beautiful. It is, however, not enough to convince me to jump on the contemporary romance bandwagon.

I read it initially for the queer romance — frankly, I jumped on the opportunity to buy a WLW book — and was not disappointed. Jane and August's connection was the type that demands an audience, their chemistry was off-the-charts and their sweet moments were riveting.

Perhaps even as lovely as the main love story — equal parts as beautiful and heart-wrenching — was the found family that welcomed the two MCs wholeheartedly.

My three star rating is only because of how hard I found it to trudge through the first half of the book and my general need to pull myself back into the story. But, contemporary romance is not my usual read. I reckon it would be higher for fans of the genre.
