As much as Edie is an intelligent 35 year old, she is also often frustratingly dense, and doesn't think much of herself. Elliot has a hard time telling her that he likes her. She has a small but great group of friends that stick with her, and their cantankerous and colourful elderly neighbour Margot is a fabulous addition to the (literally) supporting characters.
This is extremely well-written, but at least 100 pages too long. To be fair, I say that for just about every book that hovers around the 500 pages mark, although I forgive it here because I loved the characters (except Jack, Charlotte, Lucie and Louis, the utter cockwombles). It's also nice to see a fair, supportive boss now and then.
That cliffhanger ending would have me throw crockery right now if I didn't know that after more than eight long years, a sequel called "You Belong With Me" is coming out on 20 June 24 (it's the reason I re-read this), and, what's more, I hold in my sweaty hands an ARC courtesy of NetGalley, which I will read and review imminently! I can't wait because I'm extremely invested in those characters now, so stick around!
