I really enjoy Taylor Jenkins Reid, her novels always have a way of punching me in the heart. This one more pointedly.
This felt fast paced, I loved how the dual timelines played out and how the story came together in the second half. As readers we are offered so much insight to the characters and how they affect the people around them. It felt entirely immersive.
Her characters are unlikable in some ways but entirely human, Nina being the most compelling character for me. Maybe because I see some of what she is in myself, that feeling of having to accept but never allowing herself to be.
Nobody is perfect. But once again, TJR captures what we all want from people so eloquently, we want them to try. Try.
