I absolutely adored this book! I loved the characters and all of the friendships/relationships between them all. I loved this author’s sense of humor and writing style too. One of my favorite parts was the references to 90’s music which evoked such a cozy sense of nostalgia. I loved the dual timelines and the second chance/happily ever after tropes which are my favorite. The main character ended up with the one who I was rooting for from the start which is always a good thing! I caught myself smiling throughout reading this book and did not want it to end. I will definitely be going back and reading this author’s other book, Bad Luck Bridesmaid!

Thank you so much to St. Martin’s Press Griffin and NetGalley for my early digital copy for my honest thoughts and review.

I did not like the narrator so that could just be me. But also like WAY OVER PLOTTED. why is there a love triangle and a second chance and a SA storyline and she wants to be a mom and there’s cringey lyrics. Nahhh.

I loved the writing and I loved how the music was intertwined with the story.  I thought the characters were ok but at times it seemed a little silly to not just have the conversation, especially as they were older.  Being in love with two people at the same time is really hard, and I thought the author did a very good job writing those emotions.
