I have such mixed feelings about this book! The especially good: I love a story that captures when two people are perfectly decent together, but just not right for each other long term -- that's most relationships, right??
I figured out what I thought was going to happen pretty early on, and ended up being mostly right, though the way each perspective unfolded certainly kept me guessing. There were moments that were absolutely heart wrenching, moments of joy, moments of humor. All in all, just what I've come to expect from a Beth O'Leary novel!
