Hmm people are very dramatic and self absorbed in this book and don’t really act like friends to each other. 2.5 stars rounded up.

I loved this book. It even made me cry a few times, extremely relevant for all women to see all sides of wanting children or not. If you get it, you get it.

Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All of the opinions are my own and this did not affect my review in any way.
I requested this audiobook without really knowing what it was about. The cover was beautiful and it had very high reviews so I decided to give it a go. I am happy to say I was blown away by this book and it definitely exceeded my expectations.
In this book we follow Olive, independent, loyal and kind Olive who thinks she has her whole life figured out. But when her best friends start to drift into motherhood and marriage Olive starts to questions if that is the path she truly wants for herself.
This book is definitely not a masterpiece, I think I may be a little too young to truly understand it because I am not in that point in my life were having or not having kids is a point of conversation. So even though I couldn’t truly relate to the plot it was still very interesting to see how the main characters managed it.
For me the best aspect of the book was the friendship, I have always wanted to have such a tight friend group like the one Olive has and it was heartwarming to see them grow together and apart. I empathize with each one and I just wanted all of them to be happy with the path they choose.
The reason I took one star was because some things didn’t make sense to me and I think they were just thrown in there to make a bigger impact. Moreover, some of the characters really started to piss me off, I mean they are supposed to be 32 ish and they still act like they are 20, it made absolutely no sense how some of the characters reacted to certain situations.
Overall this is a great debut novel about what it is like to grow up and realize that maybe what everyone else wants is not necessarily what you want.
Thanks so much to the author, publisher and Netgalley for allowing me read and review this book.
