The spicy scenes weren't even spicy but I was still in shock, jaw dropped, hand over my mouth and everything. I think it was mostly due to it being narrated to me.
6/6/23 edit: this wasn't as good as i thought immediately after reading. i decided to change my rating because i recently finished tfgsc. i didn't take that much off the original rating (4.25) because of the fact that it was my first audiobook and i had a good experience with it.

This is very much a three star book for me. It was an overall enjoyable experience, but oftentimes, phrases would kick me out of the narrative with thoughts of "Why is Rebecca Serle describing this that way?" or "This character's reaction seems a little on the melodramatic side." Still, if you want a quick read about mother-daughter relationships that are more fraught than they seem with a side of romance and time shenanigans, this is your book.

Listening to it read by Lauren Graham was an amazing experience even if the story didn’t captivate me as much as I hoped it would.

This book wasn't for me. I struggled to connect with the characters and the plot. I found the details of Positano were lovely.

It was sadder than I expected, and sometimes a tad confusing, but the vivid imagery really makes you feel like you’re in Positano with Katy.
This is a touching story with a beautiful setting, and I’d recommend it.
