The tone of this book was a little overly conversational for me. I am sure that’s the author’s style and I am also sure it draws a lot of people to her writing, but it just didn’t work for me. The tone, the subject, the subplots, and the conclusion were all a little too silly, as was the random insertion of a walk-down-mescal-trip lane somewhere in the final pages of the book. Also, Erin’s relationship with her teenage daughter felt a little inauthentic. I think the whole “pining for a high school love” is just a hard thing for me to get really jazzed about when reading a novel. My high school boyfriend was great and all but it was a relationship for a different time in a different place when I was a different person. I just can’t relate to the longing and the what-ifs. I’m not surprised many have rated this highly, it just wasn’t my type of book.
