I loved how Jennifer Weiner showed empathy for all of the characters in the novel, not just the most likable characters. It reminded me that everyone has their own trauma and  a reason for behaving the way they do and we should not overlook this. At some points I was a bit annoyed with the protagonist’s perceptions of others, but by the end of the novel she became self aware of some of her biases. Overall the book was fun and I felt like I was on a trip with the characters.
