funny lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

Contrary to most of the reviews here, I loved this book so much. I binge listened and was in need of something different than my usual thriller. Maybe it’s because I’m not an Emily Giffin stan, but I loved it

Big hug to Random House Publishing and NetGalley for an Advanced Reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! I wanted to love it so much. The premise was so promising with themes of love, grief, friendship, set against a backdrop of travel? Perfect. However I think the pacing damaged my ability to accept some of the choices/motives of characters and I struggled to find things believable! I did like the multiple POVs but even so, in an effort to be a “light quick” read: it was way too quick and far too rushed.
