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.
Graphic: Alcohol and Infidelity
Moderate: Classism, Grief, Terminal illness, and Toxic relationship
Minor: Drug use, Infertility, Miscarriage, Abortion, Confinement, Death, Emotional abuse, Medical content, and Sexual content

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.
