Friends and Strangers by J. Courtney Sullivan
3.0

I have mixed feelings about this one. The story was reasonably interesting for a while, but once it became apparent that nothing was really going to happen, it got boring. The characters, especially Elizabeth, were honestly pretty awful. Lots of self-centered behavior, and it was frustrating that the ending didn’t wind up holding either of them accountable for their behavior. I kept hoping for a big twist, or something exciting to happen, but it never came. Then I hoped that perhaps the characters would have bigger revelations & some change in their thoughts/behaviors, but also…..nope.

Bottom line, it’s an easy read that’s mildly entertaining if you’re stuck on a plane or sitting on a beach. Nothing memorable.
