Maybe cause I read this in 2 sittings while on a road trip abroad… but it’s a masterpiece. Not what I was expecting AT ALL. Made me sob for the whole last third of the book (rare for me). Navigates life with friends, and female friendships beautifully. The romance plot could have been restructured better, does feel too much near the end
