This will be my favorite read of 2023 (I know it’s only May). I have never read something where I immediately connected with every character (yes, I will relay that on to my therapist).  A beautiful and realist love story that involves two broken people colliding together. A must read!

When I say that this series took over my life, I’m not being dramatic. It's humorous and heartbreaking, mysterious and action packed. The world building is extensive with so many meme references. Prepare yourself to become obsessed!
