I wanted to like anyone in this book. Anyone. And I just couldn't. The level of melodrama was not for me but absolutely is for others who e joy this style of writing. It was well done just not for me. I read it for a book club and frankly some of the stuff that happened in this book was so off putting I didn't want to go to the meeting to hear others opinions about it. Good for those who enjoy it but be cautious when picking this up.
