My best friend and I have realized over the past couple years of our reading lives that I cry easily in real life, but hardly ever at books. The reverse is true for her: she hardly cries in real life, but all the time at books.
Well, I cried during this book.
I went into this book knowing there had been a lot of hype surrounding it but nothing beyond that. I was swept up in the story and fell hard for Evelyn. I feel like I can't say too much more without spoiling the story and the reveals along the way, but it was not at all what I expected, and I'm so glad I started listening to the Friends to Lovers podcast where they won't shut up about this book. :D
