I woud read Taylor Jenkins Reid's grocery list.
I decided to reread this book because it's been almost a year since I first read it and I wanted to return to this story that I love with all my heart. While I usually prefer a plot-driven book over a character-driven one, this one is an exception. I love the Riva siblings and their character development that they go through in both of the timelines. They're all very different but still so connected to each other which I (as an only child) adored. I loved the flashbacks, where we get to see their backstory and at the end of the book I wanted to hug all of them, especially Nina. Another thing I really enjoyed were the little insisghts into the lifes of the people at the party, some of them were so interesting that I would read a whole book about them.
So overall this is an amazing book, one of my favourites of Taylor Jenkins Reid and just overall. I would recommend it to almost everyone, because I think that everyone should read this amazing story with it's amazing characters.
