Alison Rose Greenberg is a brilliant writer. She has the ability to break and rebuild my heart over and over in this book. A book hasn’t made me ugly cry in a while. The characters were so relatable, in real relationships that reflect being 35. Second chances, missed timing, young love, new love, being authentically yourself vs potentially fitting a mold of someone else.

Sometimes I found the jumps in time hard to follow, especially early on. But it was a sweet and beautiful love story with quite a lot of depth.

A beautiful and devastating story about lost opportunities, wrong timing, regret, hope, changing dreams, and lost love. Didn't expect it to hit so hard but Greenberg did a great job layering the situational complexities, creating very complex characters, bringing out complex and competing emotions from the reader. Complexly bittersweet. I feel proud of the main character for her choices and authenticity and loyalty to herself. Definitely ended up sobbing near the end but feel good about the actual finale
