Enjoyed this book. I did not see the ending coming. Not sure what I expected but did not expect that. I didn't love the characters and it definitely isn't a rom com but I did enjoy how their stories all linked up.

Don’t let the cover trick you. I really enjoyed the intertwining stories and there is a deeper story than what first appears.

Another good easy read from Beth. I didn't see what the plot twist was going to be and I think it's best to go in blind without knowing the plot so it doesn't get revealed. Felt like the ending was slightly rushed though.

Loved this book and would absolutely recommend it. It’s not a classic “modern romance” novel as I thought, in a way, although it is about love. The story unravels magnificently and absolutely draws you in. I loved all 4 main characters, and will read more books of Beth O’Leary. It has more depth than I had imagined. 

I don’t give it 5 points because of

Siobhan’s story arc with the terrible break-up and being a life coach helping others to heal while not having healed herself.
