I’m glad I bought this, because, being in my DNF era, I definitely would’ve given up on a library book.  I’m glad I finished it. I’m obsessed with the cover.

I’m not the biggest fan of conversation-heavy writing and that’s what most of this is (it read like Emily Henry to me, which I know people love but her writing also feels very middle-of-the-road, “it was good, fine” to me personally). 

I did love Cleo and Elenor though; I wish there had been more depth for them and less of the side characters.
