like all of taylor jenkins reids books this book was kind of sad but i learned so many things
i also really liked the concept of this book (that the whole book was about one day)
it was kind of hard to read and to get into but i still really liked the book!
if you are looking for a sad, challenging and inspiring summer read, this book is perfect for you

This was a good read! It took me a while to get into the story, but I really loved the characters. 

This turned out to be more feel-good than I was expecting (at least at the end), but

Spoiler

as an oldest daughter myself, I’m very happy that Nina got her happy ending.

A family-centered drama akin to Little Fires Everywhere, and a story I did not expect to love. Shocked me at some points, cathartic at others - I was so invested. A lovely surprise that reminds you - every family has their shit.
