LOVED IT! There's no two ways about it, loved every single page. I love the four main characters, but how it revolves around Elizabeth is beautiful. Such a beautifully written, strong female character, that's not at all flowery. The way new characters are added and the use of their character development to comedic effect, *chef's kiss*.
Here's the thing, I'm just going to list all the things I liked.
The relationships. The individual friendships within the group. The couples.
The unlikely friendships.
The use of the book title in the dialogue.
How the storytelling plays with your gut instinct and the absolute delight when you do get it right.
More than anything, the feeling of companionship that emanates from stories like these. I read this one and the following book in less than a week, shall be hopping onto the audiobook soon, because I simply can't have enough.
