I really appreciated this intergenerational story. There's power and magic in having friends that do life alongside of you, as well as those who came before and after you.

I like that O’Leary’s books (at least the two I’ve read) add a psychological element. It makes the book more interesting, more grounded, less fluff. This one still does rely on a misunderstanding a bit too long, which happens a lot in these types of books, but it was an enjoyable way to pass some time.

I don’t have much else to say about this book. It’s told by two narrators, who alternate chapters, resulting in rather a lot of characters - but somehow I found it wasn’t that hard to keep track, and in moments where I couldn’t remember someone, it didn’t really matter. It worked well that way.

It lacked the surprise gravitas that I found in The Flat Share, but it met expectations for a fun, light read with a couple surprises.

I loved loved loved this it made me laugh and cry the whole way through. Leena and Eileen are so wonderful & the plot was so fun! I loved seeing how they fitted into each others lives and how they grew through their grief. Beth O’Leary talked so beautifully on grief, and on relationships of all kinds (family, friendships, romantic) and how crucial they are to us. I can’t recommend this book enough honestly
