An existential romance novel

I really enjoyed this novel. At it's core, it is a romance novel but it expands greatly with the main character's personal growth. The path she takes to grow is winding but necessary. The author does a great job with making a twist on the "destined to be together" trope which left me satisfied with the outcome.

I would highly recommend to anyone who has ever experienced the struggle of being at a crossroads in their life, which is everyone at some point.
