5.0

This book was beautifully written, there is really nothing more I can say. This book took your breath away. This book felt like a caterpillar turning into a cocoon and emerging as a butterfly. This book felt like new beginnings. It felt like being trapped inside for too long and finally taking a deep breath of fresh, outside air. This book felt like long hike up a mountain to admire the view.

There's a reason we all keep coming back to Taylor Jenkins Reid's books, and this one was no exception.
