As always Taylor Jenkins Reid's books are such fast, complex and interesting reads. This one was my favorite so far since I really enjoyed the different dynamics between family members and I really felt for June her becoming addicted to alcohol and her death were just devastating after seeing how much she worked to give her kids a great life. This book deals with how abandonment can ruin a whole family essentially and it's so sad and so real. Overall I really enjoyed this story and I'm excited about Cassie soto's story I hated Brandon he was awful I hope she gets rid of him in her book
