This story is wild. It was so different from what I had expected when I first picked it up. It dives deep into what it's like to grow up in a family with varying levels of dysfunction but also with a lot of love. The story ends in a way that makes me feel very happy for everyone despite their struggles and I liked that.

It’s very unusual when I am reading a romance and can’t figure out what’s going to happen next. I loved this story and I want more.

I was completely enamored with this book! The structure was so fascinating and cool. It’s the story of a woman writing a story of a woman who is writing a book about the events that are currently unfolding around her. It sounds so complicated but the author does an amazing job at keeping things sorted and organized.
Even though I saw the two main plot twists coming, they were laid out in an exciting and surprising way!

It’s not the most fast-paced book I’ve ever read by any means—which is just fine. The author put in so much work to make sure that we love these characters which gives us grace for them when they do things that seem destructive.
It’s a beautiful story about all sorts of relationships and the way they can shift and change in our lives.

I don't honestly know how I feel about this book. From Part 1 and the cover design (I'm reading the American Version), I sort of thought I was in for a completely different book than this turned out to be.
In the end, it's the memories of a woman's... unexamined life? Which feels very real and true but also sad and disappointing at the same time. Though, it's true, sometimes people don't get everything wrapped up into a neat little bow by the end. That's okay.

Emily Henry is one of my most favorite authors. She has such full characters which makes anything they do believable to me! That's what makes a satisfying book for me.

I read this whole book thinking that it was either supremely predictable OR there was going to be a wild plot twist that I never saw coming.
There was no plot twist.
