I would have LOVED this in my earlier days, the love, the clear cut right and wrong, the forgiveness and grief…but I can also appreciate I may think it’s pretty trite and emotionally manipulative (in the best way possible but still) when I look back on it in years to come…But did I just have
I would have loved this one in my 20s, all the little women references, all the best friends to lovers maybe vibes, the seriousness of being the grown up you want to be…loved it and all the nostalgia! So fun and romantic, and another one perfect for that new adult zone when you really are

I would have loved this in my 20s/30s and I thought I was reading and loving it for the nostalgia vibes…I loved me a ‘won’t you always wonder about us’ novel but turns out I love it in my late 40s just as much…and it is so much more than just a road not taken
