Dark, gritty, explicit. 
I enjoyed The Wizard of Oz & Wicked elements throughout, and became fun to recognize & guess the reference and the dark spin added!

5.0

This book fully captivated me. I listened to audio and read along, as I could. The wit, humor, serious subjects of death, loss, infidelity, suicide, and more intermingled seemlessley with the mundane and trivial, and a million dollar wedding! 
Pure gold. Impactful and sweet. 
I loved all the characters and their place in this story and how a stranger—to most in the story—was made to realize how important and vital and needed she was.
Highly recommend.
