Well what a life…
Lots of people recommended me this book so I had to read it. 
As always Taylor Jenkins Reid knows how to write, it’s very easy to read and you always want to know what’s coming next! And let me tell you this is a prowess when you know how much I didn’t like Evelyn Hugo.
I could not care less about Evelyn, Celia, Monique and co… The only one likable was Harry and poor guy!
It’s still a good book and a great story. I like how transitions are done between the different eras, very flowing.

I don’t think I’ve ever read such an impactful book. I’m almost too stunned to think rn. There’s so much to take away from this and I feel as though I’ve just had years worth of life experience in these 24 hours. I love this book. It’s genius and unlike any I’ve read before. I was crying non-stop the last few chapters too.😪😮‍💨 I will be thinking about this indefinitely. At least, it will definitely distract me from my nearing exam(this is a bad thing, my mother would say).

Truly one of the most incredible books I’ve ever read. I’ve read a couple books by this author in the past and liked them a lot but this book was absolutely incredible. I loved it right from the start but could barely put it down after about halfway through.

I had no expectations or idea of what the book was about, just that it had good reviews. It ended up being so inspiring and just such a riveting and wonderful listen!
Highly recommend!
