An emotional and reflective exploration of the relationships that have built us, and continue to shape us. Nicola Dinan writes characters with such depth and the (at times) painful reality that our flaws and experiences make us so human. The main characters Max and Vincent possess very distinct voices, moving us through their stories along with their friends and families. Many complex topics are covered and some of the characters make terrible, devastating decisions- and they must ask themselves and each other, "Should I forgive? What does forgiveness look like?".  

Despite the heavy themes, there is a charm and a hopefulness that permeates this story. I will be thinking about it for a good while! I am looking forward to reading more from Nicola Dinan! Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the ARC.
