Catherine and Ruth Sterling were an interesting pair. I felt one way about both characters at the beginning of the book but by the end my opinions totally changed. 

Ruth was shady to me but I keep hearing about a mother’s love and the mama bear mentality. I get Catherine wanting to spread her wings and find her own way. But her mother seemed to put a wrinkle in her plans. We learn why and I was floored. 

I listened to this book and finished in a day! I couldn’t stop listening because each chapter kept me on the edge. Add this book to your list. Sarah Pekkanen has a new fan.

I hope this is the last book. Dial A for Aunties was the best in the series and these last two fall way short. This book was not needed.

If bad decisions were a person it will be ALL three of these girls. Just bad decisions after bad decisions. Natasha and Elke were STILL pissed at Lily for something that happened when they were in middle school!

These young ladies were on the cusp of starting college. So Natasha and Elke decided to play a prank on Lily in the middle of a forest fire. WHAT! All of the hell they endured could have all been prevented. I still don’t know how to feel.
