There wasn't enough tension between Hannah and Mona to write a whole book so the author chose to follow side characters. That was the best part of the book. As a woman in my 20s, I like reading about friendships and how they can sometimes be a struggle to maintain, but the lens from which we looked at Hannah and Mona's friendship and its struggles made it come across as almost boring. I also didn't like Hannah at all.
The writing was good and the pacing flowed well, with different POVs interspersed though the chapters. If anything else from this author pops up in my local bookstore, I'll probably check it out, but I won't be going out of my way to find more of her stories.
