1. Overly ominous one liners at the end of chapters to add suspense, specifically if that is the author's only attempt at adding suspense. This was more apparent at the beginning of the book. I don't expect authors to have thrills right out the gate chapter 1, especially if we still need to introduce characters/setting. So it's really jarring when a chapter is spent talking about work, marriage, children, backstory etc. and the final sentence in the chapter is something like "Little did I know, even he keeps secrets from me." DUN DUN DUN.
2. Not everything has to connect back together. Pretty self explanatory. I don't want to explore into spoiler territory so I'll leave that there.
3. Time jumps that add little to nothing.

There is a wedding and there is drinking and drugs at it. Some of them are drunk. Some of them are high.sehenry20's review against another edition
