I love Taylor Jenkins Reid! I liked this story and it didn’t end in a super predictable way. It was still well written and very cathartic. I’ll watch the movie now!

oh look there's my heart on the sidewalk right where TJR ripped it out of my chest and proceeded to stomp on it with stilettos

Bridges Book Club

If the wife/girlfriend of Tom Hanks' character in 'Castaway' told her story, this is kind of it.

Rating is mainly that this is not my sort of book really. It's a very 'tell not show' sort of book - lots of dialogue and internal monologue unpacking all the ins and outs of the feelings that the characters have. I didn't feel like I saw enough of the two men to understand Emma's feelings for them, especially Jesse, who turned into a jerk later in the book and CW

actually I was worried he was going to get violent.

The only thing holding me in the book was, which one is she going to choose? Kind of a flimsy reason to read a story.

This book made me want to hold my loved ones close, especially my partner. Each page usually had a golden line in it that I wanted to bookmark. The things that make up the protagonist’s sense of identity could have been more profound.
