thank you so much berkley for sending me this arc!

4/5 stars for me!

first and foremost, this book is a true comfort read. the jewish representation that rachel always includes in her novels never fails to put a smile on my face. also the depression representation was almost educational for me, i loved that rachel was able to convey that so healthily but also informative if that makes sense through ari and her mother. the plot was really easy to follow, and russell was an absolute dream. i would say the only thing that fell flat for me was the progression of the relationship, at times it felt a little under developed but when the story was wrapping up it felt perfect. i really did adore the story, y’all know rachel loves to incorporate being in seattle and working at stations in most of her books, and this story having a news/weather background it was also really fun to see. i really did enjoy this book, and for that it gets four stars for me!
