Huge Disappointment

I own all of Emily Henry’s audio books and did not hesitate to pre order this one. I was looking forward with anticipation to curling up in my sanctuary space and listening .

What a disappointment. After 20 chapters I could not take it anymore, so I skipped to the end. What a waste of credit and a waste of time. I do not want to give any spoilers so I will limit the review.

Fantastic

This book makes me want to call all my friends and family and tell them that I love them. It’s a somewhat basic story of love in all its forms, told in an absolutely beautiful, heart wrenching and hilarious way. It’s about the growing up you do in your late twenties, and the priorities and consequences of the way you chose to live your life, but also that it’s never too late to be introspective and change if something isn’t working.
Narrator also did a stunning job!

Too hyped

I did like this book, but I had too high expectations beforehand. It's being hyped all over socials at the minute. Also, I think Julia Whelan gives a good preformance, similar to other Emili Henry books

Predictable, slow and boring

I hate giving negative views as reading / listening to book is my favourite hobby and I love to be immersed in a good story. I just found this so tedious to get through, the story is predictable and honestly nothing happens in the book. I could have finished it after chapters 10 after I predicted the ending. The only part of the book I found good was the way in which they deal with the pain of grief and how it feels to lose a loved one. The main character is so irritating and lacks any personality. I found the groups behaviour and conversations immature I can’t believe these are people in their early 30s. They carry on like they are 18-22. I will be returning this book and again I hate giving a negative review but need to be honest. Save your credit on this one.

Another great novel from Emily Henry

Beautifully written reflecting love in all its forms, and so true about the nuances of relationships that get in the way.

A realistic view of friendship

Not only a romantic story but also a realistic view of how growing up and discovering ourselves can affect our relationships.
I also loved the clever way each chapters are titled.
I could have done without the sex scenes though.
A feel good read, not riveting or a page turner for me but still funny and interesting.

Another great book from Emily Henry

Loves the characters and story, loved it all. The narration was great. Felt it all too, great book 👍

This book got me

It took a while for this book to draw me in but once it did I was so invested in this friendship group. Many lessons taken on board as a friend, wife, sister and daughter.

Perfect summer listening

I try to save my monthly audiobook for the commute, but I just wanted to listen to this all the damn time. Charming, funny, sad, kind of cliche/disingenuous in places, but who cares when escapism is this good.
