This book was truly phenomenal. From the start I knew I was in for an incredible story, and it was delivered! This was a devastating but hopeful story, and I was so immersed in the story and characters and relationships that when I closed the book, I felt like I left a small part of myself behind. The last 50 or so pages had me sobbing and wishing the best for the characters. I loved this book.

This is one of the best books that I’ve read in a long time. I actually listened to the audio book and couldn’t put it down. Taylor Jenkins Reid has written something so timeless and in a way that keeps you entertained throughout. The characters are so real and Evelyn’s story is so heartbreaking and magical. I’ll be thinking of this book for awhile.

Wow. Read this one in two days. I couldn’t put it down. Not at all what I expected it to be. Love the complexity of both loving/empathizing with Evelyn and also completely not understanding/disliking her. Complex characters going through complex things. But also put in a matter of fact way (or maybe it’s because it’s someone telling about their past?) so that you don’t sit there disagreeing with the path the author chose. It doesn’t feel like ‘a path the author chose’, rather these feel like real people. 

I’m seeing that there’s to be a Netflix adaptation of the book. Books to movies don’t always turn out well, but I think this could be done very well if given a good budget. Nervously excited to see what comes of it.

I enjoyed her various love stories in all their forms. I was not a fan of the ending and I am sensitive to the topic of cheating so this wasn't my thing.
