This book took me on intriguing and complicated journey. Bennett does a particularly good job with tensions in this book. The tension between leaving or staying, moving on or getting stuck in the past, following your heart or your head, being content with what you have or comparing yourself to others. Each character brings nuance and while none of them are particularly likeable, they all make decisions that I can understand. While I liked the story overall, there were some aspects of the relationships that did not feel believable for me, especially when it came to time (some relationships seemed to progress very fast relative to the timeline and I questioned if a significant relationship could really be developed in that span).
