I liked the idea of this book, but the onslaught of pop culture references got old for me, and I kinda hated the ending.

This is my least favorite Emily Giffin novel. The characters all felt kind of flat and Lainey was pretty insufferable. It was a quick read, but overall pretty meh.
Easy read but thought they pushed the relationships too much; I think I would’ve liked them better if there was more to their stories.
3.5 stars. Review contains spoilers.
I really enjoyed the concept of the book. It was an interesting idea with the 4 college friends and everyone coming back together. I was really enjoying it in the beginning and I actually liked the 3 different POVs. Ever now and then at the start of a new chapter I’d have to go back and see whose POV it was, but it was nice having nothing left to the imagination and knowing exactly what each character was thinking. That being said, it seemed like everything was just too easy and fell perfectly into place. Towards the end things just felt a little rushed and Tyson and Lainey’s relationship just came out of nowhere and a little weird when up until then he kept saying he compared every relationship to Summer and what could’ve been.
Overall, this was a quick and easy read and I’m glad everyone got a happy ending.

2.5 stars. I would've given it more stars except I did not like one part of the ending!
