Lisa Jewell never disappoints me oh my goodness
‘But I suppose the problem is that people often don't realize that their lives are changing for the better until after the event, when they stop to look back’
This book gripped me from every page. The twists and the turns. I low-key want to be Alix’ friend. I want to have margaritas and pizza parties with her. I want to get a Brie and ham panini in the park cafe with her and a cappuccino from her Nespresso machine.
Josie. I never want to be friends with her lol.
Nathan, despite his ‘benders’ seems liked a loving husband and I hate Josie for taking that away from him.
And Walter, you should never have left Essex.
Now I just need an actual Netflix series on this.
