A wonderful book about four siblings and how they spent their dayAt the same time, the reader is told the story of the four children's parents and how the children became adults. This is a breathtaking story about a family, love, and betrayal. It is about how love can hurt when you love the wrong person and about what it's like to be a single mum to four children and to love them unconditionally. I love this book, and it's a read you can read on the beach or in the garden in summer or near a fire in winter, snuggled up in lots of blankets. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has previously been inspired by Taylor Jenkins Reid and who hasn't heard of her. It is a starter book.
