This book was not what I thought it would be. I really enjoyed it - I am a sucker for time travel(ish) books. I did not like the ending which is why I gave it 4 stars. The main characters ending up together was fine but the whole cab business and him being her aunts “friends” son? My eyes could not roll harder. Other than that this was a cute book. I will be recommending to friends.

Amongst my book reading friends, this was one book that continually came up as a “must read”. I grew up in the exact area that this book is set in. I don’t know if seeing these stories play out in real life affected my feelings, but this book was just ok bordering on bad for me. I honestly sped through the last half just to get it over with. I wonder if it wasn’t so hyped by reviews and my friends if I would have liked it more ? In the end it left me feeling pretty depressed. I gave it three stars but really felt more like 2.5. I will not be recommending to friend.

I loved this book!! It’s slow paced but I think really works well for the premise. There were so many plausible endings that I really never guessed the ending. The end was super satisfying. At one point I towards the end of the book I literally screamed out TWO YEARS????? lol. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

You can’t go wrong with a beachy read and this did not disappoint.

Of all the Elin Hilderbrand books I’ve read, this one is one of my least favorites. I felt like there were too many characters and side stories. It was hard to get invested in the characters because , at least for me, there was a big lack of character development.

With that said, I’ll still recommend as a great beach read to anyone who asks!
