    LOVED this book so much I have read it twice. Loved seeing Eilis grow into a confident woman and take control of her life with confidence. She is very relatable and Tony is so sweet.

    I know it is a memoir but felt very much like I was reading her diary or she was catching me up on life. Very good read. Felt like a friend reaching out and opening up about her dating life and view on relationships. Many things she said were relatable. Was nice that she would reflect on her earlier relationships and would also speak honestly about taking responsibility about how her actions were playing out instead of just pointing blame at her partner and how she takes control of her life and what she is able to accomplish on her own and who she is and what she stands for.

    I bought the physical book because I had hoped this would help me in a time I felt that I needed guidance. There were very inspirational moments with good advice you can apply to your own life. Overall enjoyed it and can see myself rereading or suggesting to others.

    Book was an easy read. Saw many people talk about it and also saw when browsing the aisles of Target. Decided to check it out from the library and was very much entertained. This story took a few twists and turns that I did not expect. Was rooting for the main character and at times disappointed but really enjoyed the story.

    I don’t remember why I decided to read this book but I cried. The way she described her depression felt familiar and for a moment I felt seen and like I was not alone. She was very humorous and this book felt like a hug. Not very much a self help book but was still comforting and a great read.

    Was hooked into the story from the beginning. This story had romance, mystery, heartache and a steamy chapter or two. I would assign Tate McRae’s cover of Wildest Dreams as the main soundtrack for this book.

    Mainly decided to read this because the movie will be coming out February 2026 and glad I did. Would be a great book club read because this story is worth talking about.
