A great, heartbreaking read. I liked the twist and where the story lead to. A different take on a love story, but a heartfelt love story nonetheless.

This wasn't my cup of tea. Easy to read and a somewhat engaging plot, but I hated all the characters. Dannie was obnoxious, selfish and a terrible friend. I had no personal investment in her outcome and felt emotionally unattached to the story as a whole. I appreciate what the author was attempting and this led to some interesting discussion, (I read this for a book club) but I think the author was trying too hard to do something 'different'. I respect the conclusion and can see how others might really enjoy this, but it's a pass for me.

I read the synopsis and it bought it might be similar to “The Midnight Library”. After getting about halfway through and realizing that wasn’t the case, I almost gave up on this entirely. I would say I didn’t like the first 75% of this book. The characters were flat and not very likable; you had a Type A Jewish lawyer nerd (seemed a bit stereotypical) and a carefree ditzy blonde dullard who lives entirely “in the moment” at the whims of daddy’s credit card. There were random details that didn’t make sense (I could’ve sworn early on David’s eyes were said to be brown, but later on it said they were green, and after it said Aaron had green eyes…)

The ending was a bit different than I anticipated. No major plot twists, but I thought it was ended nicely. 

Seemed a bit oversexualized for women in their 30s though
