Liked - Enjoyed reading even though Andi became more annoying with time. While I like Ethan, I found him too sweet and forgiving to be remotely believable as a real character in a real-world setting.

Most memorable lines

Just because my life was crumbling like a cookie in the fist of a sugar-addicted toddler

They only keep you on because you’re a kiss-ass. Have fun smelling like shit.

Before I knew it, there was a mess of bath bombs both on the floorboard of my truck and exiting my truck, like little round soldiers heading for freedom post-haste.

The couple had been married for seventy-four years with no children to give their belongings to. I figured a ring that outlasted wars, famines, and the stress of everyday life was a special one indeed.

So you lied to make people you used to know have a good opinion while the lie made the person you say you love feel like shit.

My shoulders rolled back, and I felt like Wonder Woman when bullets harmlessly bounce off of her.
