Summary
The heart may hide, but it never forgets. The first women’s fiction novel from New York Times and number one international best-selling author Christina Lauren (Autoboyography, Dating You/Hating You).
Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new pediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away.
But when she runs into Elliot Petropoulos - the first and only love of her life - the careful bubble she’s constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy’s entire world - growing from her gangly teen friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of her mother...only to break it on the very night he declared his love for her.
Told in alternating timelines between then and now, teenage Elliot and Macy grow from friends to much more - spending weekends and lazy summers together in a house outside of San Francisco reading books, sharing favorite words, and talking through their growing pains and triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macy’s decade-long silence and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.

Stop reading out emails!
Painfully boring, slow, and predictable! If you fancy something fun and light please read an Emily Henry book instead (or save your credits for something else!).

Dross
Humourless, boring, stilted, flat and unlikeable characters, unimaginative and totally predictable. If you’re imagining something in the vein of The Unhoneymooners, you’ll be sorely disappointed. The performance was ok. It’s not her fault the book was so bad.

Tedious
very descriptive poetic love story however I just couldn't warm to the characters. I found this a very tedious read. I kept wondering if I was reading the same book that absolutely every was raving about.

Boring, cringe and unbearable narrator
I love a romance novel as much as the next person, but I found this storyline dry, cringey and uneventful. The characters weren’t particularly likeable, especially Macy. The narrator’s voice was unnecessarily drawn out which made it tough to listen. 1.3x speed it slightly bearable. Glad it’s over.

I hate the narrators voice 😬
I couldn’t focus on the story properly because of the irritating narrators voice. Listening to the book at 1.3 spread makes her voice almost bearable.
