What could easily have been just a run of the mill contemporary romance actually packed quite a punch, exploring loss, grief, and a bit of PTSD along with the strength it takes to love and be loved in return. While the plot elements that brought Hannah and Jack together were contrived, the growth of their relationship felt natural and I sure did root for them. When a romance makes me cry, it's a goodun.
Graphic: Death, Grief, and Death of parent
Moderate: Alcoholism, Stalking, Car accident, and Abandonment
