"Why do we do this?
Why do we undervalue things when we have them?
Why is it only on the verge of losing something that we see how much we need it?"
I love the characters. Yes, Taylor Jenkins Reid does that with every book she has written. I guess this will stay for the books to come as well!
Her flawed, clueless characters. It's the character development that's always so wholesome and damn satisfying to read.
The main couple/main characters we are dealing with, Lauren and Ryan, while they are separating for a year as they cannot come to stand each other after years of marriage. Somehow they believe that they would make their marriage work that way.
But it's the other characters that made the plot so good to read. Lauren's sister, Rachel, and her colleague, Mila, are my most favourite characters in this one.
Rachel for being herself, totally reliable and going to work hard towards her dreams ultimately. Mila, the funny friend who you can just hand over your life with all the good, the bad and the ugly.
And then there's Lauren's mom. I love this woman so much!
And her grandmother. I tried my best not to cry towards the end of the story because I believed in what the rest of the characters were telling each other and it's so damn hopeful beautiful!
Yes, Charlie, Lauren's brother. The character which is developed the best I would say. I wish there was more of his fiancee, Natalie's, part. I want to know more about this character.
And there's David as well. A refreshing character. Love this character. Wish I meet a human like him.
And well.... Thumper Cooper. I hand over to you my burning heart. I so want to hold you close. I would choose you over any of these characters anyday!
The family and friendship dynamics are quite strong and stable throughout the story. The writing is good but I find it not as gripping and heart-wrenching as her other books.
I find some parts to be so convenient for the characters. Of course, things have been planned for such situations to happen but, well, it seemed too easy and cheesy towards the end.
But I find the book real good and there are so many things we adults form a strong population of confused beings no matter what we are dealing with. No, kids. We aren't handling anything as we should. We are all confused and become more fragile as we age. So yes, we need more of such confused adults to ream up with and make mistakes together and go through them together. This is what the book is about.
I love your books, Taylor. I need the new book soon 💌
