I ate this one up! Completely obsessed with this book!

The main character was waaay too relatable tho lol. She had me crying. It's like Jennifer Weiner read my diary before writing the book lol.

I loved how Jennifer Weiner showed empathy for all of the characters in the novel, not just the most likable characters. It reminded me that everyone has their own trauma and a reason for behaving the way they do and we should not overlook this. At some points I was a bit annoyed with the protagonist’s perceptions of others, but by the end of the novel she became self aware of some of her biases. Overall the book was fun and I felt like I was on a trip with the characters.

If you’re looking for an easy, feel-good, happy vacation read, then this is it. I’ve been a fan of Jennifer Weiner for a long time because there is so much depth to the characters she creates. It’s easy to get swept up into the stories and feel like you get to read a wonderful romantic comedy. This story has multiple perspectives and goes into themes of love, life, friendships, and complicated relationships with your mother. I loved it. It’s a book I’d be happy to read again.

3.75 - Had I not found this book, abandoned in an airport in need of a home, I probably would not have read it. I liked it but phew it was a lot. In good ways and in bad ways. Would I read another book by this author? Probably if it piqued my interest. Mildly similar to Katherine Center. Interesting (although too numerous) characters with decently satisfying ended. Definitely check the trigger warnings.

I loved the plot and the topics explored in this book but the writing was a little choppy at moments
