Unfortunately I did not enjoy this book. I found it very slow, didn’t like any of the characters and hated all of the pop culture references (way too many and felt forced and “trendy”). I also hated the

cheating plot lines

emotional lighthearted mysterious fast-paced

2.25

I was disturbed by how much of the message was all sex is justifiable. There were multiple instances and levels of cheating in relationships with glossed over consequences. I liked the IDEA of the book’s weekend, and the alternating perspectives. Lots of mysteries and background drama in each woman’s life. Might be a fun summer beach read in Nantucket, but too simple on all the endings.
