• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

5.0

My Thoughts: I actually had a lot of fun reading this book. It was light, entertaining, and drama-filled - like just pure suburban drama which can definitely be my thing! It almost reminded me of Desperate Housewives? (Which I loved!). I felt so much joy while reading it and this is the perfect example of a pleasure read for my reading tastes. 

I am a bit surprised at my five-star rating, but I really don’t have any criticisms of the book. The only thing worth noting is since this book was published in 2018, other than some of the pop culture and diet culture references are already a bit outdated. But this didn’t impact my reading experience much at all. 

If you haven’t read anything by Abbi Waxman and you enjoy Contemporary Fiction, I would encourage you to give her a try. I have read 3 of her books and enjoyed each of them. I look forward to reading more!
