Reading about the loss of love in a relationship is new for me. It really opened my eyes to the ugly side of love, which I’m not really forced to think about in other novels that I read. In addition to the emotional parts, I also loved the more lighthearted parts, like Rachel starting her own bakery, Charlie finding love, and Grandma Lois’ advice.
While some parts of the reasons Lauren and Ryan’s fell apart and the reason they handled the separation the way they did could’ve been developed a bit more, I did enjoy the book overall. It drew me in and made me think!
