This book was a fun read, and it was interesting seeing all of the stars stories coming together. It really does feel like high school drama became a book. Which is kind of the point as we see the characters try to grow from their pasts. If you are anything like me, you will find that most of the time you can’t help but think what snooty bitches most of these characters are, and find it hard to believe they are going to have redeemable qualities. I’m glad they started to get their shit together near the end. The cast of characters was entertaining, the nosy neighbors of Nantucket adding their perspectives kept the story feeling authentically small town.
