This Emily Henry book was very different from the rest of the ones I’ve read so far. Granted this is my third one I’ve read from her but I loved it! I loved the little bit of mystery added in there, the love story, and the big twist at the end that I didn’t see coming. 🖤

Tornou-se minha obra favorita da autora. A abordagem da maternidade, criação dos filhos e história familiar foi brilhante, profundamente comovente.  Existem diversos gatilhos, aconselho os leitores mais sensíveis a consultar o StoryGraph para mais informações. 
Sem dúvida, lembrou-me "Evelyn Hugo", de Taylor Jenkins Reid, contudo, a singularidade da autora e seu estilo de escrita permaneceram evidentes. O desfecho surpreendente foi extraordinário, mantendo-me em suspense e sem fôlego até o final.

If The Lucky One by Taylor Swift was a story, it would be Margaret. 

I absolutely devoured this book; I picked it up and could barely do anything else, including sleep. I think Hayden is one of my favorite EH love interests. I adored him from the moment he accidentally drank Alice's too-sweet iced latte and he never disappointed me. Something about him is just so good. It did not take any convincing for me to like them as a couple. There was something so fulfilling about seeing them come together over something not completely centered on their work; it felt like a genuine, real connection. 

I enjoyed the plot and especially the element of mystery, of piecing together the story alongside Alice. I would've liked a bit more at the end, after some of the character revelations. I wanted to revisit the relationships with
Cecil
and
Jodi
- maybe even a nice little fluff piece on the island, without drawing attention to Margaret of course.

I can always trust you, Emily Henry. Like a dear friend who refuses to let me down. 
I was engaged with every part of the plot and was constantly rewarded for my efforts. A bit more emotional for me towards the end for personal reasons, but it was all done so well that I didn't mind.
