loved loved loved. i do wish jay and kit’s endings had been a little more complete, but that’s a tiny complaint compared to how great this book is

The premise and themes draw you in right away as the characters and central setting are developed beautifully. While it lags a bit in the middle, it picks up momentum and really builds all the way to the end.

Definitely a good beach read. My jaw dropped a couple of times. I usually read romances but this book had me learning and wanting to learn more about the Riva family! The things i’d want pulled from the book are the details of other characters at the end when things got more intense with the Riva family.

Take note that for the first time in a year that I’ve added a book to my favorites list @Rachel

The way Taylor Jenkins Reid captures humanity and story tells through every small detail is masterful and I want to be reborn as a Riva sibling in my next life.
