Reviews


The whole book is written through letters, but don't let that stop you: it was definitely the perfect way to tell this story. A nice quick short read!

Just what I needed. 88 pages wasn't enough tbh

This was absolutely wonderful in the sense that it was so heartwrenching and I honestly do not know how Taylor Jenkins Reid makes me feel so much with so little content. This had me feeling so many emotions, especially because this is written in letter format. I love that I get to be in the characters' heads and see exactly what they are thinking and how they are dealing with all of the emotions they are feeling. I really loved being able to see all sides too, not just those of the people being cheated on but also the cheaters themselves. The ending was wild and I hope I can read something like this again. Very excited to read more of Taylor Jenkins Reid's novels as she is quickly becoming my favorite author.

3.5/5

the plot twist is just- wow, i didn't seen it coming.

4/5 What do you mean that’s the end? Why was it so short? I need more. Now.

Que delicinha de conto!! Taylor não erra nunca mesmo, deve ser de nome rs História rápida que de alguma forma trouxe profundidade e me fez rapidamente me importar e torcer pelos personagens principais. Taylor não se aprofunda mas toca num assunto muito real: as pessoas acreditam que a infertilidade sempre é culpa da mulher. O conto se passa nos anos 70 mas essa infelizmente é uma realidade até hoje. O final me agradou bastante, claro que todo mundo espera uma coisa diferente (que eu não nego que teria amado pois o David é um fofo!) mas é sempre muito gostoso quando o autor te surpreende. Leitura rápida e que vale muito a pena! Pretendo ler tudo dessa mulher.

[No rating.] For some reason, I am unable to rate this. I enjoyed the letters though, nice short story!

Such a unique and devastating read, Taylor Jenkins Reid you have done it again.

3,5⭐️

How can TJR wrote a very short story yet still managed to make a meaningful and twisted ending?

FUCK. I picked this up on a whim and finished it in one sitting (an hour and a half tops). HOLY SHIT, it was lovely and devastating but also heartwarming and filled me with empathy for these characters that TJR developed so well in just under 100 pages. Loved it.


I can’t say I didn’t see it coming but I have. It was quite fun to read a story told through letters, though.

Short and extremely quick read. Told in just back and forth letters. I really enjoyed it. Reid is such a unique writer and I always like her work.

Kept me entertained, I loved that the short story was conveyed through letters. I was emotionally invested and was shook at the ending (😮) — my only gripe is that I wish it was longer!

this is a very short read. i like the letter format, and audio book is free for prime members! i like the little twist in the end, i wish i could have seen david’s reaction to it though #goodforher

I read this book in one sitting and it was a great book. I liked how it was told in letters and that it was very easy to follow

All I can say is that I freaking love Taylor Jenkins Reid

MOUTH WIDE OPEN!! This short story was a jam packed roller coaster! At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about the format (letters) but it soon grew on me. It was as if I was getting sent the letters myself. The first few I read had my blood boiling. I couldn’t imagine what Carrie was feeling. I also began feeling for and liking David. While I was not sure why it felt wrong how close David and Carrie were getting, I ended up rooting for them! The ending was a total shock. But I’m not mad because it’s the first book that actually took me by surprise. I did not expect the turn of events but overall enjoyed this book. Go read it now!

I feel so so so sad for them…but also so happy for her after reading this

Adoraria um livro mais longo, com mais cartas trocadas para devorar. E que temas tão importantes estes plasmados aqui! A mulher não se reduz ao seu papel reprodutor. Fiquei com ainda mais vontade de ler mais de Taylor Jenkins Reid.

wow
Highlights

Often, I feel overwhelmed by this sinking feeling in my heart that I will never be enough.

Do you ever feel like your life got away from you somehow? Lately, it feels like my whole life has a similar feeling to when you check the clock on a Saturday and realize it’s already half past four.

You are only for me. It is as if I have lived with a hard shell all over my body and you have cracked it and it has all fallen off. I am fresh again.

You asked how I hide it all. I don’t know. I guess I find it pretty easy to look like nothing is happening when everything has changed.

It is funny the crazy things our brains make up to save us from the truth.

I am not alone at the party. You are at this miserable party with me. And it brings a smile to my face to be standing next to you.
