Book doesn’t have the same spunk of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s other books. It’s pretty good but just not great. I do appreciate the Easter eggs that are not too early or books. It makes me feel like I am a part of a secret circle. I thought the book was clever yet at the same time little predictable. I was clever because of the fact that it took over span of 24 hours. They booked out with some harsh themes from alcoholism to cheating to what it means to be a good person. It definitely made me think but by the end of the book I was ready for it to be over where is the authors other books
I didn’t want them to end.
