I appreciate a break from the typical romance trope, but this could have used a few trigger warnings and a better book jacket synopsis. I enjoyed the writing and story, and was glad that this wasn’t a “steal your man” story, as it seemed set up to be. Phoebe grows but her actions with Matt at the end were frustrating; humans are flawed and she realized her mistake, but after the wedding week she had, I expected more from her character with Matt. Lila is a conglomeration of every Bridezilla TV character and also the shallowest bits of every basic white girl social media account. I wish she had grown more than just the speech at the end, because there were many opportunities for her to change. Overall I enjoyed this and would read more from the author, keeping in mind that they summaries aren’t accurate for what is really going to happen in the book.

A cute summer book. Predictable, but fun to read.

This book was everything it needed to be and it came to me at a good time, but I have a love-hate relationship with open endings that only imply things

Perfect for those who are reaching turning points in their life and are wondering what the next step is. I thought it captured the complexity of depression and mental illness very well and the FMC is very relatable. If you’re a CBT nerd you’ll love the way her thinking shifts and how introspective she is.
