I have a hard time enjoying a book when not a single characters is likable. That's my biggest complaint. Well, that and some things felt a bit repetitive. I mean how many times do I need to read about swinging legs or linked arms.

This started weird but really picked up. I thought it was super well written and I loved the before /after style. I did think that the reveal that our main character did it was sort of ehhhhhhhh, and the book ended quick…but I really liked it!

Love it or hate it, this one brings you right back to your college years. Drinking, bad decisions, dying to fit in, douchey frat guys, it’s got it all. Wanted to scream at the stupidity of the characters at times, but it also felt relatable in some respects.

Overall the story dragged on a little long, but the final third picked up the pace. Not much happed till that point in the book. Other than a couple far fetched details I struggled to get over, it was a fun read and provided for a very spirited book club discussion!

I have heard better things about her other two books so I have them on the list to read soon.
