I hate stories that rely on being heartwarming for appeal. Hate them. They always feel gross and overly simple and so completely unrealistic. I realize this sounds weird in a review about a wormhole but here we are. And honestly? I don’t like performed stories. It’s so easy to get wrong or throw you out of the story. But wow. These people were good. And I related to so much. An absurd amount really. And the best part was I was needing something that wouldn’t make me feel anxious (sometimes I read thrillers and suspense but it’s been a couple of rough months) and I was able to stay engaged completely even though it starts with a fairly clear promise that conflicts will resolve and be okay. I sometimes have to stop reading romance stories because of third act miscommunications because they stress me out and also feel unrealistic based on the progression of a relationship. If you want me to believe people are truly that close and have overcome so much, don’t ask me to believe they suddenly have the communications skills of a 14 year old nerd at a school dance. ANYWAY. highly recommend.
