Summary
The heart may hide, but it never forgets. The first women’s fiction novel from New York Times and number one international best-selling author Christina Lauren (Autoboyography, Dating You/Hating You).
Macy Sorensen is settling into an ambitious if emotionally tepid routine: work hard as a new pediatrics resident, plan her wedding to an older, financially secure man, keep her head down and heart tucked away.
But when she runs into Elliot Petropoulos - the first and only love of her life - the careful bubble she’s constructed begins to dissolve. Once upon a time, Elliot was Macy’s entire world - growing from her gangly teen friend into the man who coaxed her heart open again after the loss of her mother...only to break it on the very night he declared his love for her.
Told in alternating timelines between then and now, teenage Elliot and Macy grow from friends to much more - spending weekends and lazy summers together in a house outside of San Francisco reading books, sharing favorite words, and talking through their growing pains and triumphs. As adults, they have become strangers to one another until their chance reunion. Although their memories are obscured by the agony of what happened that night so many years ago, Elliot will come to understand the truth behind Macy’s decade-long silence and will have to overcome the past and himself to revive her faith in the possibility of an all-consuming love.

Fantastic read
This was a TikTok recommendation and I am thrilled that I listened.
Great story, well written and had me gripped from the start.
Great characters and a lovely bit of tension throughout. Very enjoyable.

Did not evoke any emotions
The premise was good but unfortunately the story is somewhat hollow and one dimensional, doesn't evoke any feelings...

Dull
Too long, main character girl was too apologetic and boring. Guy character-dull. Really, really underwhelming ending. Main characters just made me mad.
Overall disappointing.

I hate the narrators voice 😬
I couldn’t focus on the story properly because of the irritating narrators voice. Listening to the book at 1.3 spread makes her voice almost bearable.

Lives up to the hype
Loved the book. It has a wonderful couple at the center that had me binge listening. It definitely lives up to the hype and all of the recommendations on social media.
But there’s a few things I have to mention, because it annoyed me…
The supposedly Danishness of the father is SO wrong writes the Dane 1. No way would his first name be Duncan unless he’s half American 2. When will Americans get in their head that æbleskiver are only eaten around Christmas time. Æbleskiver are not a breakfast food and they are seasonal. Stop doing Danish research in Solvang, California.

A lovely story, well written, and very well narrated.
I loved it. Christina knows how to tell a charming story so well that you don’t want to put it down.
