This book really wasn't for me. My main issue was that the main character's husband was absolutely insufferable. Lauren certainly wasn't perfect but she absolutely did not deserve someone as awful as Ryan, and I couldn't understand how I was ever supposed to root for the two of them to stay together. That being said, I really liked the dynamic between Lauren and her siblings and extended family. My favorite moments of this book were when Lauren wasn't focusing on her marriage, and was instead focusing on the other people she cared about in her life. I also appreciated that for a decent portion of this book I genuinely didn't know how it was going to end, and that kept me intrigued. But then the book did end- and I hated the ending.
