Interesting but also nothing new.
Meh, interesting but also forgettable for me.
3.5 stars. I liked the way this story was told from the perspective of others’ views of the couple. But that also made the depth limited because we didn’t get to see their inner worlds at all. It was lovely nonetheless.
yes yes i read the second one, too. i kept rolling my eyes, though, i promise 🙂
This was a fast read and held my interest but i did roll my eyes quite a few times.

3.5 stars. It was eminently readable. Messy people going through messy things. It’s easy to judge these people. In fact, it’s easy to judge any one. But we are all complex and contain multitudes.
What an interesting novel. I really enjoyed reading this and I can’t even exactly put my finger on why. It was quiet and I liked the writing. I liked that it didn’t take the easy route of resolving anything too.
I loved every moment I spent with this book. It’s the story of Lina and June’s friendship from when they meet in a college party and how they weave in and out of each other’s lives. How they impact each other. How it can feel both grounding and delicate to be in a friendship this deep and how they both feel insecure and also adore each other. It’s funny, it’s lovely, and it’s so very very sad. So raw and beautiful. with gratitude to netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy for an honest review.
For some people this book will be too cheesy. There’s a bunch of suspension of disbelief. But for me, it was a beautiful portrayal of grief and what unresolved trauma can do to us and how every day, small acts can save us and help us save each other. It was both a beautiful and a heartbreaking story. with gratitude to netgalley and Scribner for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. |
