My least favorite romance tropes are miscommunication and cheating. This book rode the lines so closely that it was hard for me to root for the couple. I liked the way they connected through grief and art. I liked that she used such specific items from her trauma in her pieces. I liked Feyi's character as a whole. I was decidedly not as big of a fan of the age gap or that she couldn't shut it down with Nasir as soon as she realized she was not going to be into him in that way. If there's going to be an age gap of more than 10 years, I need the older one to be immortal or something to get over it. The most annoying scene was when Milan, a past fling, called Feyi to tell her he is super supportive of her not only connecting with his friend after him, but specifically about her hooking up with his friend's dad because his friend isn't deep enough for her.
