So I think people are lowkey giving this book a bad rep but I completely understand why. The behaviors of these women who are supposed to be between their mid to late 30's is deplorable. Way too much alcohol consumption to be believable, grooming 18 year old boys to engage in underage sex, gross entitlement, backstabbing, and just disgusting behavior with a lack of respect for themselves and everyone else. How Sophie made the choices she did (stupid ones mind you) will never cease to amaze. The climax doesn't actually happen until about 55/60% of the book. I also didn't like how Sophie trying to get a grip of her sexuality wasn't a focus point. Although, I will say the plot twist that happens during the last 90% of the novel was the only plot point that made me give this three stars. Also the epilogue is realistic enough that I actually agreed with.
