3.5 stars**

Wow, not sure where to start with this book. The beginning was strong and I couldn’t put it down. I loved the chemistry between Grant and Cecily. But there was something off about him. Not until the middle of the book, the first plot twist comes which I kind of saw coming.

After that, it seemed a little far fetched and unrealistic. The fact that Amy was completely nonchalant about Cecily lying to her about Grant? And then Grant is alive out of nowhere. And then the ending had me screaming internally. She took him back after all of that!!! What? Ugh.

I was really connected to the story and it was hard to put down but the ending made me angry that she settled for Grant despite all the lies and bs.

Wow. This book really resonated with me not only as an independent woman living in New York of which I have had the unfortunate experience of being in relationships founded on lies but I also moved here in 2001. I will never forget 9/11 and what happened during that day and afterwards including the smell. I read this book in one sitting as I was utterly captivated. I am glad that Cecily followed her heart and head both with Matthew and Grant and fought for what she deserved rather than what was easiest.

So so good picked it up was drawn right in .Characters that come alive a storyline based around9/11 .Emotional moving a book I will be recommending an author whose books I always look forward to.#netgalley#randomhouse

Back to the real Emily Giffin style I love! I loved this book! Centered around 9/11, love and drama this book has a little of everything. I loved hearing from Darcy, Rachel and Ethan in this but wanted them to tie in more. Honestly, I feel the story did lack some depth and the ending left me wanting more. A solid 4 star- thanks to Netgalley for my advanced ebook copy! Coming June 2020!

I was very lucky to receive an arc of Emily Griffin’s new novel via netgalley. She is one of my favorite authors. I enjoyed this novel which is based roughly around the time of 9/11. It has a twist, which I did figure out on my own. I thought it was very well written and I did enjoy some surprise characters that were written in. :)

This book was so good. I didn't to put it down! The characters were well rounded, and the storyline sucked you into it and made you feel like you were really there. The author did an great job telling this story.
