Many thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Rainbow Rowell, an August pick of Reese's Book Club! All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Shiloh and Cary were the best of friends in high school. Everyone thought they would get together as a couple, but they never crossed the friends line. Fourteen years later, Shiloh is divorced with two young kids, back living with her mom; Cary is still in the Navy. They meet again at a friend's wedding, but has too much changed between them?
This was a wonderful story of two kids who fell in love too young, before they knew enough to realize it. Now as adults, they both feel lost, but can they get back to where they started? I loved the banter here - you really felt part of this story. Shiloh's kids were the best and added needed light moments to the book. It's the story of just how important communication is between people, and second chances. Told in dual timelines between high school and now, we see how their story plays out. To me, the few more graphic sex scenes didn't fit with the rest of the story and could easily have been left out. But the rest was sparkly!
