This was a nice story that explores complex issues of grief, alcoholism, and emotionally abusive relationships. Well developed writing style, though it does get slightly repetitive and overexplain-y at times, mostly in the second half. Whirlwind romance. The lengthy pronouncement that life is messy and things can’t be wrapped up in a neat little bow doesn’t really land when the writing is simultaneously doing exactly that. Though Finley suggests Archer’s wealth doesn’t matter, it was his wealth and his access to Oliver’s wealth that allowed him to rush to her side in her time of need and for them to effectively run to the rescue of her sister. Wish the queer characters were more plot relevant. Visible rep was basically one random couple showing up for two lines and Nora and Jess showing up briefly at the end.
