I'm incredibly glad that I listened to the audiobook. It was beautifully narrated and completely immersed me in each woman's story. By the halfway point, I felt as though I was just sitting and listening to my friends talk about their romance woes, life struggles, and strange encounters. It was a level of familiarity that I haven't experienced many times.
This book tackles some really, really challenging topics. From infidelity to miscarriage, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, and more. Please be aware of that before going into this. It's not your average "rom-com" and I wouldn't even put it in the comedy genre at all. It has a few sweet, giggle-worthy moments, but there's a heavier emphasis on the emotional aspect.
I was caught completely unaware when I reached the last quarter of the book. I absolutely did not see the twist coming and it blew me away. I was so caught up in the individual stories of each woman that I never saw how things were going to come to a close. If you're looking for a book with a great twist, this is one you'll want to pick up.
Honestly, I can't recommend this enough. While it might not be my favorite of all her books (that spot is forever reserved for The Flatshare), this was absolutely incredible!
