shereadstales's review against another edition
4.0
Note: I was given this ARC by Netgalley and Ylva Publishing in return for an honest review.
This is what I did all weekend instead of homework. It couldn't be helped. A delightful escape, I got lost in the world Rizzo built and was unable to put it down. The characters are endearing and the story is heartwarming, and the fact that the book is well-written is refreshing, and didn't make me feel *too* bad about procrastinating the academic reading.
Elizabeth and Ruth were inseparable in college, but Ruth broke it off to settle down with a man and start a family. Now the pair will face each other for the first time in thirty years at their college reunion. When the opportunity to start again presents itself, they must decide if there is anything left between them.
I loved that Elizabeth and Ruth weren't twentysomethings trying to figure out their lives. Both have so much history together and apart, which makes them all the more interesting. Rizzo has got a knack for characterization, and I definitely want to go back and read Exception to the Rule. Can't wait to see what else she'll do in the future.
