le iba a poner un 5 pero como termina y el mensaje en general se queda un poco plano... eso sí la premisa inicial es impresionante y los personajes son ultra carismáticos los tres. suuuuuuuuuúper fácil de leer tmb.

Thank you @prhaudio and Emily Giffin for a #gifted copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review!
I went through a big Emily Giffin phase a few years back so this book was a big anticipated release for me. Sadly I didn’t love it - the whole story fell a bit flat.
The book centers around 3 best friends swearing to drop everything for each other when needed so none of them ever feel as helpless as the 4th in their group did when she took her life. With such a heavy plot, I expected more. More emotion, more angst, more feelings, more everything. Every emotion just felt flat. It didn’t help that I found each character and their narrators kind of unlikable in their own way. They were all a mess but none of them felt like people I wanted to root for. I think there was just a lack of emotional connection to the characters.
The romance also felt a bit lackluster and forced. There wasn’t much chemistry or build-up, so they felt like they came out of nowhere.
The idea of traveling with your friends when your life feels like falling apart is such a great concept though. I enjoy Emily Giffin’s writing style, so I still enjoyed the book enough, I just needed ~more~. Unfortunately, this was a miss for me, and if you’re new to Emily Giffin not the first I’d recommend.
