"But we'll never be the same."
"Do you have to be?"

Another good story by the author. I recommend never reading a blurb for her books, just pick one and read, that way there are more fun and surprises.

I was gripped by this novel too. I loved the characters. There were a few important messages. The romance was lovely too (although, I miss Higgins' first books, where I read more romantic scenes, etc.)

Yet, I found a bit annoying some repetitions. E.g. repeating that Lark's first love started in kindergarten or Ellie's fixation "Did he sleep with her or not?". But I have finished the novel in two days, so perhaps if I read it slower I wouldn't have seen those things.

So, not one of my favourites by the author, but still a great novel. [4-4.5 stars]
