THIS BOOK!
gosh I really thought that this was another oberhyped book endorsed by booktok but the book made my heart soar and then proceeded to break it into a 1000 pieces.
TJR did such a good job at telling Evelyn's story and it was such a joy to read it and please grab some tissues for the heartbreak u are about to experience.

It’s insane to me how Taylor Jenkins Reid always does this thing where at the start of a book I think it’s not very good, is formulaic, is problematic, or is overdone, and I figure that I might as well keep going and make it to the end, but then by the time I get to the end of the book, I instantly want to read it again. What does she do to hook me like that? I really, quite genuinely, cannot put my finger on it.

4.5

This book was beautifully written, and I truly felt like I was transported into a very real world with very real characters. It made me laugh, it made me tense, it made me cry, it guided me, heartwrenchingly, through the whole spectrum of human emotion. Refreshingly, characters weren't perfect, or likeable all the time -- but they were honest. They were human. 
I am very conservative with my book ratings, and this is the highest I have ever rated a book, to date -- because I cannot think of any other books that felt quite as honest, and as human, as this one.

underwhelmed and sad about it
was expecting evelyn hugo to be at least minimally likeable, but man, I had a rough time with her character. there were golden nuggets in here for sure, and something about TJR's writing keeps me reading even when I'm less than hooked. I just really wanted this one to blow me away like it has for so many people
