I've read all of the books that were written by both Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, so I was wondering  about a book that Sarah Pekkanen wrote on her own. And I might like it better? That feels mean, but I think I did. This book did make me realize that I just want everyone to leave their husbands all the time. And I guess this is kind of lite marriage propaganda that our partners aren't perfect and we should stick it out, and that's all well and good in the real world. But I am here for the mess. But I did enjoy this story and the writing was solid.

Not interesting or good. And why did Savannah need to be fatphobic? Like why the body shaming? It served zero purpose other than to make me hate her, but I would’ve hated her anyways so it wasn’t necessary. I know this was written in 2013, so I get that it wasn’t this year, but come on

Based on later work by Sarah Pekkanen, I started reading this book thinking it was a thriller. It's not. However, I enjoyed this story of a luxury vacation in Jamaica attended by college friends and their spouses.
