I’ve never read an Elin Hilderbrand book so maybe this is just the normal vibe, but this book is a real life fairytale! The journey these characters go on over one weekend is dramatic yet lighthearted while covering heavy topics such as body image, betrayal, heartbreak, grief, cancel culture, and more. If you’ve read any of my other book reviews, you know I can’t stand a “too perfect ending” but this is a book that does it so well. I’ll be thinking about these characters and their stories for a while!
