We Were All Rooting for You 

This book was so up and down for me. It started off okay. Eden’s devastation after her marriage ended was very relatable. Her desire to reconnect with her college crush made sense. Then all kinds of ridiculous things happened. I started to lose interest. I was right back into it for part two. The introduction of the other woman and her perspective really made the storyline pickup. Going into part three, I was optimistic. The actual events that came next were so absurd. It started to feel like a spoof of a thriller. The resolution at the end was okay. I toggled between loving this book and being very disappointed with it.
