I found this book infuriating, but then all of a sudden I loved it - which is exactly what Beth O’Leary intended. I felt such a strong connection to the characters by the end and it brought up a whole lot of emotion. It is another beautiful book by the author.

Overall a nice read, I liked the ending few chapters but it did feel like a bit of a slog to get to the “big reveals” as I didn’t like most of the characters and the plot felt a bit stagnant for the middle third of the book. 

Better than The Switch, not as good as The Flatshare
