This book made me cry. I wasn't quite sure about the inherent infidelity of the premise that these three women get stood up by the same man, but I trusted Beth O'Leary, and I was right to. And of course with this author the tackles mental health in an upfront way as well. I don't know that I'll read it again, but I'm glad I picked it up. Everything did end up worth it in the end!

i've only given beth o'leary books 5 stars and this one is no different. i love the way the author writes female characters and their stories, it always leaves me in awe. the writing style of both the dialogue and scenes is also fantastic.
