About the book: I spent 3/4 of the book trying to figure out which guy I wanted Maggie to end up with forever. Right when I’d make up my mind, there’s be a new memory brought into the storyline. The number of important memories that explained Maggie’s history with both men was a lot to unpack.

Oh I wanted to love this book. It has all the things i usually love…I love second chance, I love dual time lines, but I could not finish this book.
First off the dual times lines were disjointed and confusing for me to the point I didn’t know what was past and what was present.
The FMC was just unlikable to me. And I didn’t buy either the childhood love interest or the present one.
For making it 41% I feel like nothing happened? I couldn’t tell you any main thing that happened except that Maggie was insufferable. I decided with nothing notable happening it wasn’t worth my time to finish.

I find this author really interesting because her protagonists don’t fit into certain social expectations we have for women and raise good questions. It kept me reading, though at times, I wanted to read one timeline. It all came together in the end (lots of pining) and the information was revealed when necessary, but I think the ending was a bit rushed.

This book broke my heart and put it back together again <3
A mean pick-me girl sings out loud in a Trader Joe's once a week? Say less.
The characters didn't do anything for me, and the jumping around in time felt pointless because each age (except summer camp) found Maggie in the exact same place.
A bonus nitpick: music theory is not the study of song lyrics.
