i finally got to the reason they broke up, which is rational and well plotted. however i have realized i don’t like these types of past/present timelines romances bc you wait most of the book to find out why they broke up and it delays my ability to root for them in the present timeline. i almost wish i could read it chronologically instead

these two need to kiss and also talk abt their breakup and the dissolution of their relationship in detail ain’t no way you dated for EIGHT years got engaged and then broke up in 4 mins w/o ever discussing it like huh

confused why they’re flirting and reliving memories of their first kiss yet apparently wyn thinks harriet cheated on him? this is our first hint of what the conflict was that broke them up

still confused why they break up? they’re clearly still attracted to each other and care for each other

also i’ve read 100 pgs but don’t feel like i understand these characters i just have a random collection of facts

also a little confused as to how all these ppl became friends bc they all seem caricatured and like caricatures that wouldn’t get along 😭 and the story is not helping me envision the friendship dynamic

i’m so confused as to what could possibly have caused wyn to break up w harriet - his fiancé and gf of EIGHT YEARS - in a FOUR MIN PHONE CALL

also confused as to why they couldn’t tell their friends they broke up? i get not ruining the trip but what abt the time in between the breakup and the trip literally any of that would’ve been a good time
