Im still hooked and very much interested to see where Henry and Lou are going with this ring around the rosey situation that they’re in. Breakups are messy and I love how this book explores, not extensively, but, to a degree that everyone can see themselves in. and also i dont think lou being an unlicensed therapist is really doing much to the story while other than being a cheap subplot to an already decent story

I don't like the pacing anymore. At this point of the book, things are going a little too fast. I wanted to see more of Lou's struggles in running the Comeback Inn but she somehow became a whiz of running the place after her disastrous attempt of making scrambled eggs. But there are some poignant parts of the story where I really really like Lou's advice and she's dealing with her breakup while crushing hard on Henry

So far I'm loving it! The story is steadily gaining traction as Lou is figuring out how she will heal her broken heart, save the home that she deeply loves, and please the land lord, Henry. The pacing is just right and I hope it builds into something more.
