This was a cute fast easy read…. But I do think it should’ve followed Hannah, Lainey & Tyson during their lowest besides Lainey and Tyson dropping everything for Hannah at her lowest. Easily could’ve been a 3 part book.

The friendships were cute. The storyline was there, just under developed.
If you are needing a quick easy read, I say read this book! But make sure you do check the TW before reading.

I remember loving Emily Giffin’s books over a decade ago and this popped up on my Libby app. The play on words in the title was interesting and had me intrigued to follow the story in the book. I think there were good ideas for the plot but they just weren’t executed well. Things just felt kind of thrown together for the sake of it. 

It did leave me wanting to watch First Wives Club from ages ago since the concept reminded me of the way the women in that movie came together following a friend’s tragedy. I think because I loved that movie so much this book was compared to that in my mind.
