Rating: ★★★★

This book just let me know that TJR is more than just The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones and The Six.

At the start of this book, I was pretty convinced that this is going to be my new favorite TJR creation, but I guess I was wrong. DJATS is really hard to top off from my shelf, but this does not stop me from binge-reading this book. If I was not that sleepy, I would have finished this.

I loved going through this emotional rollercoaster ride and this book definitely pulled me out of my reading slump! It's fast-paced and, even though this had been a quick read, I honestly got to know the characters. Until the very end, I did not know who she was going to choose and it was really heartbreaking. At the same time, if I were in a similar situation, I would have been at crossroads as well. Thank God, this did not drag on and on.

The only thing that I didn't like about this book is that the plot got old around 70% in of the book? Like, I just want answers and find peace and move on to the next one! Still, this has been a great read for me and it let me know that I can rest easy when I grab another TJR book because I know for sure that it's going to be great.

P.S. Have tissues nearby when you read this.

In sum: I would definitely recommend this for people who want to read something quick but at the same time emotional. You'll fly through this, I swear.
