While not dissimilar to her other books, this one is a second chance romance and has a different feel and tension to it because of that dynamic. Harriet and Wyn are stuck together because of the group vacation and because the years of their relationship have led to a friend group that's venn diagram is just a circle. They are navigating the ramifications of their breakup for themselves and how it complicates things for everyone around them. All this while an old group of friends tries to live out their glory days for the last trip to their go-to spot ever and are all dealing with their own separate issues.
This book realistically address the challenges of a relationship where you grow up together and friendships where you grow up together. If you aren't careful, you can grow apart entirely.
I also really felt for the main character in her struggles with her career and her future - I have certainly been there before myself. It was just another relatable and realistic aspect in this one.

Wyn’s character was not at all what I expected—he was better. He’s the doting, thoughtful, and loyal flirt we all wish we knew and could call our own (as least that’s true for me).
And what would an EH book be without some sort of parent-trauma? That part hits home every time…maybe I should try therapy!
I loved this book’s theme of found family and holding on to the people that matter most to you even if that relationship changes over time. I wanted to text my friends several times while reading this to tell them that I love them.
“I wish I could swallow the sound, that it would put down roots in my stomach and grow through me like a seed.”
