    This is one of Bastone’s earlier publications. Having read her most recent book before this, I was surprised by the differences in her writing style. This book is in the 3rd person, while her two most recent books are both in the 1st person. Her style of 1st person is what charmed me and made me want to read more of her work, so this book took some getting used to. There were some pacing issues here and there, some moments dragged while other moments didn’t get enough time on the page (like why didn’t we get a whole scene dedicated to fixing the tub???). Overall, though, this book features Bastone’s signature humor and knack for addressing tough topics (abandonment, foster family, found family, to name a few).

    Was not expecting this to be in 3rd person! So different from Bastone’s other books.

    For some reason, I’m scared reading the next chapters. Kinda worried that her mom will show up at her doorstep and ruin Eleanor’s life yet again. Eleanor deserves a better life… a way better life, with the people who truly care about her.

    “…maybe, in the right circumstances, that kind of attention [from men] was even threatening.” Oh look, Tyler’s learning! Only took him being 42 y/o to get a clue…damn.

    hiii everyone! this is my first time reading one of Emily Henry’s books, so I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts and opinions on this book, or her writing in general!! I also have The People We Meet On Vacation, but I’m reading this one first because I got it at the library :) happy reading!

    I have to give the plot 3 out of 5 because it was so obvious how the story would end. However, DeWitt’s prose sings across every page. Her penchant for romantic flourish could make anyone swoon.
