Kinda took me a bit to get into this one. At first I had a hard time following the story lines flipping back and forth, but by the end of it I was attached to each and every one. Couldn't help but fall in love with the characters as they progressed in their own ways, especially Nina finding herself.

The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the way the characters looks were described. Like I get setting the scene and depicting attractiveness, sure. But every time a female character was described I had to cringe at how objectifying it felt.

I hesitated to read more TJR for a while because I didn’t think I’d love anything as much as Evelyn Hugo, but I absolutely adored this book. I just wanted more & more of the characters & it never felt like enough! Finishing this on the beach looking out at the Pacific Ocean felt so serendipitous. Overall, just a really great read.
