Whew, what an emotionally charged read! There were some parts that felt a bit drawn out, but I really enjoyed this book. I became emotionally attached to every single character and loved all of them. I definitely didn’t think I’d cry my way through the end of the book, but here I am! My only real issue, and I think I’m in the minority here, is that I hated Eli’s nickname for Georgia.

Aside from everything else, I would love to live in any of the worlds within Jessica Joyce’s novels.

I think I’m just not into second chance romances. I definitely enjoyed it more than Happy Place by Emily Henry.

I actually really liked this book despite the cheesy title. I thought the friendships were sweet. I love the Seattle and Bay Area imagery. I’m partial to books set in I’ve lived. I also thought the reason they broke up the first time was very relatable. They were young and in their heads. They didn’t talk about how they were feeling and what they needed. I also understand
Georgia’s hesitancy to jump in a second time given they’ve been best friends since high school and her relationship with her absent/unreliable dad. The lists of reasons Eli loves her in the paper rings was very sweet. The only try hard part for me was when he made a comment about the capitalistic roller coaster, and she said that was the hottest thing he’s said. Like kind of performative, and I’m not that mad about it.

What a sweet book! The way Jessica discusses emotions/complicated feelings and how difficult it is to be an adult and balance relationships/friendships was so real, raw and beautiful!

I struggle with a second chance romance but it’s growing on me. I like that they both needed to address their immaturity and get therapy to find their way back to each other. But also this made it kinda a slow burn which is good and also too realistic for me 😆. But it’s definitely a great book with great smut and worth a read if you’re a romance book lover.

In the first 20%, I was thinking it was a 3.5-4 star read. There is a lot of protagonist navel-gazing. But then as the book got going, it literally made me laugh multiple times and full on cry twice. It’s a second chance love story but also deals deeply with moving away from friends and how it feels to be on the outside when everyone else’s lives are moving forward.

I was cheering for Georgia as she made her path that was right for her.

THIS BOOK!!! I fell in love with it so fast and it quickly became one of my favourites' of the year! The characters felt real and complex, but not in a overwhekming way, their struggles were consistent with their personalities, which sometimes doesn't happen...
I loved Georgia and Eli's dynamic as a romantic duo and as a best friend trio with Adam. I was a little sad when it ended, and that, to me, is a mark of a great book.
