  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.25

I felt the ending was wrapped up too neatly and quickly, the story definitely could have used more time to have the characters really sit down and work through their problems face-to-face rather than through a bunch of unsent emails. That being said, I really enjoyed looking into the different perspectives of romantic love the characters have in this book. Romantic love will look different for different couples, and everyone's perception of such love will differ greatly based on the experiences they had and the times they lived in. I appreciated the sort of reflection and development the main character Lauren has throughout this book with respect to her idea of what romantic love and marriage should be.
