Emily Giffin is one of my favorite authors and I was eagerly anticipating this book and was so excited when I finally checked it out from the library. Unfortunately, my excitement ended there.
This book fell extremely flat for me.

I could not connect with this plot and the characters. I enjoyed Hannah and the first chapter with Laney but after that, Lainey fell flat and became a stereotypically female character with daddy issues. Tyson did not even feel real and I'm not going to go into why, but absolutely nothing about Tyson felt authentic.

The trip locations seemed random even if it was to honor Summer. The trip to Texas felt fake, Capri felt completely out of place and so stereotypical. Then the last location ended abruptly and then picked up a year later? What?

It felt like we were supposed to connect with Summer and place her on the same pedestal as her friends but without any real character introduction ( her death comes in the first 5 pages) there was no connection. Same with the romance(s)- it felt rushed and there was no connection. All of a sudden everyone is in love.

Overall, I could not really get into this book after about the first 1/3. I slogged through only to get to the ending and be even more annoyed with the unrealistic pretty bow that everything was tied into.
