family we need when everything gets too complicated...The
beach-read master hooks us again."

"Blur[s] the lines between women's and literary-leaning commercial
fiction, departing from the fantasy spaces of bodice rippers and
misty moors to depict a world that looks a lot more like, well, our
own...Henry operates at the top of her-and her
readers'-intelligence, telling sophisticated, heartfelt stories
that are conscious of the romantic comedy conventions without being
overly meta about them...Henry's dedicated readers know what to
expect: wit, charm and heart, satisfying to the last page."
-The Washington Post

breezes alongside startling mediations on friendship, loss, and
adulthood."

an immense draw for her fans and every reader looking for a stellar
romance."
-Booklist (starred review)
"As always, Henry's dialogue is sparkling and the banter between
characters is snappy and hilarious. Wyn and Harriet's relationship,
shown both in the past and the present, feels achingly real. Their
breakup, as well as their complicated relationships with their own
families, adds a twinge of melancholy, as do the relatable growing
pains of a group of friends whose lives are taking them in
different directions. A wistfully nostalgic look at endings,
beginnings, and loving the people who will always have your
back."
-Kirkus
