The premise is that Eve has a seemingly perfect best friend group of thirty-somethings she’s known since secondary school. But when tragedy strikes, it reveals that there are lots of secrets and resentments bubbling other and it’s possible love and friendship aren’t enough to keep the group together.
It’s hard to describe this novel when you’re trying to be as spoiler-free as possible. I have so many quotes saved from this novel- quotes I highlighted because they were astute, ones I saved because they were hilariously and brilliantly witty and funny, quotes I saved because they were healing and perfect in the way they described something that is difficult to talk about in grief or betrayal or pain or even love. The themes of friendship, loss, grief and family are dealt with really well in this book. I loved how the author built a mystery around truth and perception with the victimization of one of the characters. I also like that this was a story of healing, of forgiveness and reconciliation sometimes, but also of just moving forward. This book was absolutely gorgeous and took me on a rollercoaster for emotions. It’s not quite romance, nor is it entirely a rom-com, or chick lit- perhaps it can be likened most to women’s fiction. Whatever genre it is though, I highly highly highly recommend.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from William Morrow Books.

This book is not just a book about romantic love, but also about platonic love between friends. And about loss and grief.
Edit: thinking more about it, I gotta admit that the ending was a bit too rushed for me. Some much happened on the last 50 pages, that I wish the book would’ve been a bit longer.

It’s the type of rare staying-up-late-at-night-because-you-can’t-stop-reading romance.
It’s not at all what I would’ve expected from reading the title and the synopsis and seeing the cover but in the absolute best way. It’s about friendship and family and grief much more than it is about romance (but I love the romance as well).
Would highly recommend!
