emotional funny lighthearted reflective slow-paced

I loved the first half, but the ending was a struggle to finish. I think Robert Frost might not be the poet for me, despite his clear talent

This was kinda fun to read, but I’ll be honest it was so bad. Like I kinda had to force myself to get through the last 100 pages. If you’re okay skipping over several sex scenes for the hope of plot you might like this.

I really hated the Wen short story. I feel like it really made it seem like her only motivations in life are Hilo. Idk, I just wanted more for her

I liked everything else though

At first I was leaning to a 2.5 or 3 but the ending was the most cringe thing I’ve ever read. Like I didn’t mind the rest of the book really, but the ending way they get back together is SO fucking ick inducing

I really had fun reading this, despite it being a bit predictable. I didn’t really understand what happened over the course of the ten years they were friends, and what she was doing before buying the farm (and how she met her partners), but this was cute still
