After loving Evelyn Hugo, I thought I had to give this a try.

What I didn't like:
- It took me a while to get into the format (it's written like a documentary transcript) but I did find that it made the book a quick and easy read which I ended up liking.
Spoiler- I didn't really 'buy' the romance between Daisy and Billy. I'm not sure why. though. Maybe it was because I didn't really like Billy that much.
- While I enjoyed this book, I think I set my expectations too high. Something about it felt lacking to me, but I can't quite put my finger on what.

What I liked:
- The format was easily digestible once you got into it. I also liked that it allowed for contradictory statements where the characters are remembering things differently, which is something you wouldn't get with a single POV.
- Taylor Jenkins Reid really knows how to write a good character. 
- I loved the complexity of the issues this book dealt with, and I feel like it dealt with them really well. The struggles felt real and believable.
