I LOVE how this book seems to take on a much more reflective focus with Trin recognizing her own flaws, how those flaws led to hurt others, and trying to work through them

This is Taylor Jenkins Reid's best book yet. I always hated how her books seem too self-contained in their own world, but this extends beyond that and we finally see a family as a focus but expanding past JUST Malibu

This is literally a fave of the year, I am HOOKED. I felt some real catharsis from Trin that I didn't realize I needed for years now (or didn't LET myself feel). Incredible writing, attention-grabbing plot, and irresistible romance.
