This book makes me want to travel to Maine and eat lobster rolls with my friends…and I don’t even eat lobster!

I didn’t dislike this book, but I definitely didn’t love it either. It took me about 3 weeks to read this book, and I usually take around only 1. I’m not sure how much of that is because of my busy schedule versus my general lack of interest in this book—I had to talk myself into picking it up and reading most days.
The most exciting parts of the whole book were the group’s “fight” and Harriet and Wyn’s intimate scene.


Wyn and Harriet’s entire fallout being caused by miscommunication/lack of communication/accidentally pushing people away when you’re trying to do and be what you think they need was disappointing. While I can somewhat relate to the characters and their struggles, I was expecting more.


The characters were likable, I guess, but I didn’t really care that deeply about them.
