Rowell’s dialogue is as sharp and relatable as ever, capturing the essence of her characters' complex emotions and the nuances of their interactions. The chemistry between Shiloh and Cary is palpable, and their journey back to each other is both heartwarming and heart-wrenching.

This novel not only revisits the magic of youthful love but also reflects on the intricacies of adult relationships. It's a beautiful reminder of how love evolves and how finding your person at the wrong time can sometimes lead to the most profound realizations.
