Review
“Weiners latest is pure romance and utterly heart tugging, showcasing her ability to write characters that readers will instantly connect with, flaws and all. There is a special delight here in getting to know Rachel and Andy from childhood to adulthood, and readers will find themselves laughing, crying, and hoping right along with the pair.” Booklist (starred review)
Review
"This moving story of love that spans a lifetime is Weiner at her heartstring-tugging best... Andy and Rachel fall in love and fall apart, over and over, in this emotional outing from Weiner.Through marriages, deaths, scandals, and successes, they keep finding their ways back to each other. Does their connection mean they're meant to be together—or are their differences simply too big to overcome? It's hard not to get invested in Weiner's characters, particularly Andy, who struggles to deal with his father's absence, his biracial identity, and feelings of being left out of Rachel's privileged world... There are plenty of twists and turns in their relationship, and it's satisfying to watch them wind their ways toward the novel's perfectly realized conclusion." Kirkus Reviews
Review
