pickThis was a unique story and was written in a way that had me all the way invested and wondering what I would do if I were in all the characters places. Really examine how I feel like I would handle it. I was also very satisfied with the ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickMy newfound hobby is baking while listening to audiobooks and this book was the perfect fit. Cute, made me cry, made me cringe, had the Taylor Jenkins Reid feel I always love. Plus everyone said my cookies tasted better than they normally do 😂
pickThroughout the whole book I kept thinking what would I do? TJR breaks the mold with her tropes: it's a love triangle but it's more than that, it's friends to lovers but also a journey of healing. It is a second chance romance but also a blessing/curse. No matter how you think about it there is no right or wrong way to go through such an experience.
Kind of an excruciating but lovely read. I was expecting the end, but not how beautifully the author would pull it off.

pick😬 I‘m a bit late with my review for this book (it was my #authoramonth February pick). This is the first book I've read by TJR. I'm not sure what I was expecting, a mystery or something nefarious. But this wasn't any of that. It was a love story of sorts. There's no right or wrong here, just a review of relationships, how they change over time as people change. 3/5⭐️

panI found this very lack luster…. And just because it‘s about three thirty-something women, does not warrant the comparisons to Fleabag or Rooney it‘s been getting. I found the ‘feminism‘ dated, the characters dull, and just generally this didn‘t seem to have anything new or interesting to say. It‘s a shame, because the reverse love story idea is a good one…. #booked2023 #pop23 #lovetriangle #52bookclub23 #letterH #bn2023challenge #aboutafriendgroup
