I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The concept is very unique and made it a very entertaining book. While I have read other books which focus on a singular day, those days normally have a sentinmental reason for that particular day, but what I liked about this book is that there wasn’t a specific reason it was just a snapshot in time. 

One of my friends put it beautifully, this book explores love in different ways and circumstances, and this was a really good lens to look at this story through. 

I found the first 30% a little boring and hard to get into, but from that point on I had such an affinity to the characters and what was happening in their lives, I just constantly wanted to be reading. 

This book has long chapters which is a bit of a book ick for me, but I could understand why this book had them and look past it mostly. 

Love a book that makes me feel things 🫶🏼 

Anyway, overall a very good read and I am currently enjoying the TV adaptation of it!
