Wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this as it could have been twee. I've read one other of hers, a YA, but wanted to see how she does grown up books.
And not disappointed! Unlike my usual choices but thoroughly comforting and positive.

Besties since they were 13, Shiloh and Cary are reunited at the wedding of another friend after a 14 year estrangement. The will they/won't they aspect of their relationship is obvious and ultimately this is more about the journey than the destination. I enjoyed the read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I don‘t feel like I ever understood the main characters in this story but I did think their families, setting, and children (especially the children) were all written realistically. It was character driven, and Rowell did a great job compelling me forward.
I also loved it being set in 2006. The amount of times this woman put on a dress over her jeans - excellent. I think this was written specifically for us, elder millennials. Enjoy 💕
I feel like this is a book that you need to be in the right frame of mind to read. It's relationship centered versus action/thriller, etc. That being said, I loved it! The characters were authentic and real and it was the perfect book to read outside on this beautiful day.
