I'm teary eyed on finishing this sweet little book. It reads like a garry Marshall movie!!! Absolutely precious!

The audio book is a lot of fun -- a light, clever story. It might be harder to switch characters in the hard copy.

*I received this book through netgalley in exchange for a honest review*
This was very sweet and a fun read.

There are quite a few characters and many story lines so, sometimes it is hard to keep track of things. Personally, I enjoyed Jeremy & Natalie's story the most with Arthur & Felicia coming in a close second.

The slight connections to other story lines in other lines was really pleasant to see. Although, some story lines seemed unneeded. Then again, maybe it is to show life doesn't always change for the best.

There are funny parts, parts that made me choke up, parts that had me cheering, or even groaning over bad decisions.

Would I Recommend this book? YES! Such a light and fun read. I had a great time reading it. Any time I can read a book without being too distracted by my fiance watching LoL streams in the background, I definitely know that the book is a keeper!

The story idea ended up being far more interesting than I first thought it would be; I'd wanted to read something a bit lighter and thought this might be something in the vein of Sisterhood of the Traveling pants, but for 20-somethings. However, the writing in this book was abominable. Every character spoke in the exact same way. Every main character had a happy end to their story arc. Sentences were rarely more then seven or eight words the entire novel -- this was so irritating my eyeballs actually started to hurt. It reminded me of the fledgling writing efforts of a first-year writing student. Was this self-published? (I don't care enough to look.) Where was the editor in this to at least talk to the author about how sentences work?

Cute little story if you're looking for a quick read. Bit predictable and occasionally hard to follow all the different characters, but an upbeat book that's great during a vacation.
