Oh, what a book. I could go on about how beautifully, relatably damaged Shane and Eva are, how witty and on brand Audre is for a child of her generation, how this book immerses itself perfectly between modern pop culture and the culture of the past (just like Eva and Shane do with their writing), but now, that would spoil it for the rest of you! Read this book. There are some sensitive topics, but they are *real.* Shane and Eva are real. Yes, there is a myriad of cliches strewn across this painful, wonderful, funny, bittersweet second chance romance, but come on. Every good story has cliches.

Now, where’s the movie adaption with Quinta Brunson and Lakeith Stanfield?
