I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. I absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure what to expect from this book; I knew nothing about it. But it was phenomenal. I loved June, and I loved Adam. Their friendship and the tension behind their history was excruciating in the best way. Chloe and Lucia were excellent side characters (but I'd love a whole story just about them, too). And the Harper family was a lovely aside. The will they/won't they vibe was excellent throughout, even to the end. I liked the back and forth between the before and the present. And all of the Broadway talk was perfect, especially since in my real life it was just Tony season and the second half of the Wicked movie is coming out this year and I'm full on in musical mode in my brain. This was just beautiful.

Also I'd love it if someone gave me a $6M house, please.
