It's a bit crap. Too chaotic. The writer thinks her audience is dumb and over explains everything like a bad sitcom. Novels aren't her medium, she has good ideas for screen but she writes them in novel form which doesn't suit. You can feel that she is writing with the purpose of the book getting optioned which makes the reading not at all enjoyable. We read this in my book club and everyone agreed that the concept was good but the execution was TERRIBLE.
