I really liked the story over all. That said, the parts of the story that matched up with the timeline of the previous two books no longer felt like the same characters. I could justify Poppy’s suddenly upbeat attitude towards the players and support staff as her putting on a happy front to other people. But I cringed when
Poppy grabbed the wine glass at the turtle party and sputtered to Rachel and Tess about her pregnancy and not knowing who the father was. Up until that point, it didn’t matter to her which one of them was the father and she spoke as if they both were the father. Plus, the reader never saw her struggle not to ingest alcohol before this scene. In fact, she politely held a glass of champagne without being tempted to sip it at Rachel’s wedding before the events of the turtle party.
