I like this book because I never read anything like it. It's simple but emotional. It's stressful to be in a situation where you love someone and lose him. You move on and love someone new and then the old love comes back. Damn, it sounds heartbreaking. 

I like that this discusses how people change, we evolve and that's okay. 

It became preachy at the end that's why I deducted a star. But overall, I enjoyed this. Thank you, Taylor✨

Ow, my heart 🥹🥹🥹🥹 I am not well. You know going in that the ending is going to break your heart one way or another, but it’s still such a gut punch. I cried multiple times. 5 stars 



Side note: the entire premise of this book is borderline unbelievable but the least believable part is that book store manager and a music teacher can afford to live in Cambridge. And she commutes to Acton? And gets there with time to spare to have breakfast dates? Does she leave the house at 4am? Massachusetts people will get it, everyone else just live in blissful ignorance believing this is possible 🤣
