Man, I do enjoy Taylor Jenkins Reid's books. They seem so effortless (which I'm sure means she works hard on them!). This one had love and loss and overcoming grief and it was just so well done.
This is her first book and i'm so happy to see her improvement over the years.
I honestly couldn't wait to finish this book because I just got so tired of reading about Elsie.
Also I feel like the love Elsie and Ben shared was a bit insta lovey and too dependent for me.
This book was an unexpected experience. I started to listen to it just based on the author, without reading the synopsis and wow...I wasn't expecting the first chapter and what happened next. This is a completely character driven story, little to nothing happens, yet it's emotional and sweet.
It deals with grief and loss, so keep it in mind when deciding to read it, however it's gentle and hopeful and narrates a beautiful love story
3.3/5- eh... read it cause it was TJR, some cute quotes, nothing really great tho:(
Um livro que fala sobre perda, negação e sofrimento perante a morte de alguém que amamos. O leitor fica desde as primeiras páginas do livro a par da triste tragédia que decorreu e isso, na minha opinião, faz com que não sintamos com tanta intensidade a dor das personagens. É uma leitura um pouco mais racional, por assim dizer.
Ainda assim, gostei desta leitura.
3,5/5
2.5. You can tell this is Taylor Jenkin Reid's first novel. I'm probably rating this so hard because I really, really enjoy her novels (especially Evelyn Hugo.) It's not a bad read. The conversations are just lack authenticity and I just felt like I wasn't fully connected to the characters, or their choices.
