I liked the premise of the book and love stories about friendships. I was NOT expecting Summer's story at the beginning. I did like hearing perspectives from all the different friends. 

I liked the idea of the story but the execution felt a little bit off to me. I felt like the Olivia storyline was rushed. She could have just been Lainey's sister, and it all felt a little too convenient. Same with the issues with Lainey. You knew her crash would come but it came at 92% of the way into the book.

It just felt like so many things in this book were plot of convenience and not realistic.
