I enjoyed this book. It was a fairly simple, if emotionally heavy, read. The characters were all pretty enjoyable, as well as their relationships. I thought the way the author took us throughout the years and decades of their friendships with one another was well done. It was easy to feel both sorrow and joy for them as they experienced life’s ups and downs.
Some of the dialogue was a little awkward/stilted. The POV changes were really frustrating and definitely my least favorite part of the book. Not only did we switch narrators but we also switched from first person to third person and I found it to be nothing but disruptive to the story and downright annoying. The ending was fairly predictable and in a way that I wasn’t a huge fan of. It didn’t feel quite so earned. Overall I’m fairly split on this and it’s just one of those middle of the road books for this year.
