2.0

okay so some positive things are:
  • the timeline of the story, how it jumps back and forth. 
  • the closure everyone got in the end. 
  • HOW ALL THE CHARACTERS ENDED UP TYING TOGETHER
  • The last 50 pages, because that’s when it got interesting

the sake of pitting women against each other for drama  wasn’t cute. Charlie and Jules decision wasn’t cute. And I would have loved for a conversation between Jules and Hannah for that. stop writing women who are insecure about themselves and their marriages and have to picture themselves with other men to feel worth. 

I would recommend this STORY to anyone, but not the book itself.
