Reading this felt like you were at the resort yourself and witnessing everything go (up and) down. I felt so much for the trio especially the two ladies. Every scene between Dee and Misa felt like a tug at my heart. Something about female friendships make me feel that way. 

I cringed every time Dee talked about Matt even though I can kind of see where she was coming from? It’s just…. Girl, stand up. 

The real star of the novel is Tilley. She was such a lovely and fun character to read—I laughed at almost every time she did or say.
