A weirdly fun book full of unlikely coincidences, absences of communication until almost and sometimes too late, inability to listen to themselves and each other, fear of honesty, and ultimately everything going back into their rightful places.

I loved this book for the most part. Jennifer Weiner is so good at weaving characters together. It leaved a little heavy on the lack of communication trope, BUT I could see how if this were real life, characters wouldn't have communicated certain things.
