Wonderfully written. As expected from Taylor Jenkins Reid. The whole story was so amazingly woven and the emotions didn't just stay in the book.

I am not sure what I think, like, it was okay, I didn’t love it but it wasn’t bad. I didn’t expect to love it so I didn’t get dissapointed. And the writing wasn’t my cup of tea.
I think the drugs and the alcohol took up too much space of the book, I would have wanted more focus on the characters and their feelings instead of the drugs and alcohol. But I guess that both drugs and alcohol was a big thing during that time.
I strongly dislikes both Daisy and Billy, both of them are ungrateful and respectless towards (almost) everyone, they can’t take criticism and they are just easy to dislike.
Characters I do like is Graham, Karen, Warren and Simone. I would have wanted more of Warren’s POV, he seemed like easy-to-hang-out-with-person! Camila also seemed pretty cool, she was too patient about Billy tho, I think she should have left him. And I really would have wanted Graham and Karen to end up togheter!
