Enjoyable. Fun. Disliked the ending. Liked the reveals, but the overall ending did not do it for me. 

Thank you to the publisher for a free Netgalley. 

Oh my heart. This book. Evelyn and Arden. Arden and Evelyn. Their story was just an emotional gut punch over and over.

We know their fates are intertwined, but we do not know how. FLipping between present day and then slowly making our way back through time so we eventually find out how it all started. 

So well done. I am writing this review less than 12 hours after finishing the book, and I will probably have to come back and edit to be able to put into words how wonderful this book was.

I loved Evie Drake Starts Over, so I was excited for this one. Predictable? Yes. Cutesy in ways? Yes. Fun? Yup! I needed this style book. A little bit heartwarming, a little funny, a little predictable, and a very likable plot. 

Cecily is an absolute gem, and Eliza is quite a character. There personalities are perfect together as partners in this podcast, and though Eliza is Eliza you can't hate her. Will, as a love interest, was fine. He was probably the most lacking part for me as I just felt he was kind of 2 dimensional. But to be honest,  I did not need him to be anything more. The story was about Cecily and her development. 

The podcast portion is small in the sense, that this is not going to give you chapters in the podcast format. It's not that type of book. My only other "concern" was I could have used a couple more dates for Cecily in longer format. 

Overall, this was enjoyable and I recommend for those who liked her previous novel!

Overall, I enjoyed this book. But the pace was a tad off. Cam's character and perspective was my favorite. I liked Niall, but felt his chapters could have been shorter. I am happy we did not get a fourth perspective. The third was needed-- nice and short, but I thought it was easy to figure out who it was. And I am happy we did not get a fourth as it would have not fit right. 

The overall plot was solid, but felt the time jumps were a tad too long. I genuinely cannot say why without spoiling a major plot point.

I do recommend, but do not think this will be for everyone.

Thank you to the publisher for a free Netgalley! 

I have read every book in this series, and while I have enjoyed them all this one it tied for my top one with book 1. 

The plot for this one was fun and the use of Mrs. Haggerty in this story is phenomenal. She is quite the character and adds a lot to the characters we already know and love. 

Why 4.25 and not 5? Some of the antics are a tad repetitive. But I understand there are only so many antics two characters can get themselves in to! 

I really enjoyed this one. I was worried because I have read a lot of WW2 novels. Almost to the point where I try to seek out HF from other time periods. 

But this book gave me a different story for the same period. It focused more on downtown London and the affect the air raids had on a city. I loved our main character and her story-- along with the relationships she built.

Thank you to the publisher for a Netgalley. 

This is my second book by Sittenfield; both being short story collections. 

This one did not quite hit for me the way You Think It, I'll Say It did, but this was still so well written. 

This one was good, and I really enjoyed the plot!
