love this idea and how it plays out. not obsessed with the execution. it reads like Normal People in how there’s little stories for each time period to show how the characters feel about each other but since that writing style is purposely fleeting i felt like it lacked depth for the premise. i also wish she saw olive more after high school.

TJR is usually a hit (Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones) or a miss (Malibu Rising) for me. This time, I wasn’t crazy impressed, but I still liked this one. 

Writing was simplistic but also very readable. Thought there could have been deeper character development, but the plot is certainly intriguing and I felt it accomplished its goal: delivering on a premise that could be difficult to pull off, as well as being an engaging page-turner — a perfect spring break read.
