A good summer read. It didn't have any big revelations, or gotcha moments, or even plot twists really. It's more about the story itself. And the characters. I found it easy to get invested in the characters. There are some bits and pieces that tie together as you read the book, but I think it's really more so meant to be a casual read.

My first time reading an Elin Hildebrand book and it did live up to the hype.

This is a great beach read. It's light enough to breeze through, but interesting enough to keep you engaged. I enjoyed the different point of views presented from each character surrounding similar events, and of course, there's a bit of drama, bit of comedy, and enough heart without going over the top.
