Not my favorite. I don’t think all of the components of this book were necessary and they felt to me as though it clouded the storyline. 

The big reveal was not incredibly enticing to me either. This story felt like it was lacking something to really bring it all together but I’m not sure what exactly that was.

I will say that I enjoyed the little Easter egg that Feeney put in with the chapters. (This will make sense when you get to the end of the book). I also appreciated the sense of community between women in this book.
