I read this in about 3-4 hours while traveling and let me just say... I was not emotionally prepared to cry multiple time at my airport gate and in the airplane!

Such a good book and I can't wait for the show/movie to come out this year!

3.5 stars — honestly expected a bit more from the book/story but also am learning not to read an author’s latest book first and then expect earlier books to compare in complexity. Very interesting story/plot but the read was a bit less engaging than I anticipated

Disclaimer: I love TJR. She's an auto-buy author for me and I will read her shopping list. Regardless .... this book wasn't for me. Its premise -to change my perception of true love and realize the dead and gone (pun intended) is not necessarily a bad thing didn't sway me. Plus, I didn't like any of the main trio. I found the MC, indifferent at best, boring and tedious at worse. And the two love interests one dimensional, overly attached and displaying both sort of toxic behaviour. (Who talks like that? Absolutely no one). Nonetheless, she lacked chemistry with both of them and should have ended up with neither. The only storyline I was invested into was the one with her sister. That, I can actually see as a growing to love each other kind of moment, as well as any precious moments with her parents.
