Could have been better. The premise was good but the characters (especially Lainey) were superficial and we never really got good development on them. Not typical Emily Griffin IMO

It was slow going in the beginning, and at the end there was an unexpected twist that I did not see  coming.  The characters were built out pretty good… But but in the end, i I was unable to follow the timeline. It felt like 2 to 3 years, happened in a span of 40 pages.
