The start of the book is shocking, especially since I have read Emily Giffin before. I was excited to see where she took the novel, but frankly I don’t think she could handle such intense topics. It all fell flat - seemed predictable and unrealistic at the same time. It was sometimes cringey to read. I was the most invested in Lainey’s story so I wanted to finish things out but I could have put it in the DNF pile.
