I really enjoyed this book. I liked the narrator. I like to walk a lot and started listening to books while walking. I finished this one in a few days. The author is a good story teller.

I liked it!

A lovely story about relationships coming to an end and how to handle that for the couple and for everyone who loves them

A different way to look at things

I appreciate a solid story with believable characters doing things and behaving in believable fashion, which is what this author delivers.

This tale engages the reader in contemplative thinking while subjecting them to a wild and stormy ride through questions of inter-relational commitment, human frailty, vulnerability, avoidance, hard-earned wisdom, and yes, love.

Engrossing Interwoven Tale

The story wasn't bad. Just a bit predictable maybe? May have to try another by this author to see.

Not bad but not my favorite.

This was not my favourite Laura Dave book, although I did enjoy it. I think the ending dragged on with a closure go every important character.

I enjoyed Laura Dave last book “the last thing he told me” and I loved it, so it expected a lot, but this book was just ok. I love the narrator (another reason I picked the book), but the story took a long time to get to the point and once it got there it ended with no further explanation. It’s not terrible but it’s not great!

Great story…Terrible ending
