I listened to the audiobook and finished this in one sitting. Somehow I didn't really know what bothered me about the book, but after reading some reviews I think I'll be able to put it in words. To start with the positive things, I really liked that it talked about suicide, mental health and therapy as I'm working with clients who suffer from mental health issues as well. But I'm not a therapist - maybe that's why something about Tallie and the descriptions of her work felt wrong, but I couldn't place why. I also liked that it wasn't the typical romance story - at some point I was afraid it would exactly be that. Also I normally don't read/listen to books in one sitting, so this is an exception and shows that I was hooked and really enjoyed it. Like I said - something about Tallie, but also Emmett, felt off. I didn't like the invading of privacy and especially Tallies chapters didn't feel like she was 40 years old. Unfortunaly I didn't enjoy the ending. I didn't like the big reveal regarding Emmett (I wasn't very suprised and it didn't do anything for me emotionally). I didn't like the pacing and the way the ending was told. I didn't like how the romance situation ended, it feld kind of too easy? I just didn't like it and it felt very unsatisfying to me. ~3.5 Trigger warnings: suicide attempt, suicidal thoughts, mental illness death of loved ones, child death
