This is difficult to review without spoilers, but I'll try. For a romance, this book has a lot of mystery and intrigue. I honestly thought I was going to give it a much lower rating because I felt like it was romanticizing cheating (which I hate), but the twist at the end calmed me right down and ultimately made me sympathetic toward the love interest. I did like the female characters and enjoyed the way the author explored the different ways in which women oftentimes self-sabotage their love lives. She did an excellent job giving these women their own unique voices, and I feel like most readers will find themselves strongly relating to at least one of them. 

This is my second Beth O'Leary novel. I read The Flatshare two years ago and have been looking forward to reading more of her ever since. I have no reasonable excuse for taking so long to finally get around it.
