Not a deep read by any means, but something good for a road trip or beach day. The plot gets more and more predictable, the characters often fall into stereotypes in the way they think and speak to one another (largely Charlie, she’s oddly focused on being a Northern Liberal and college educated). A feel good ending and a nice enough set up to the next book that you feel complete, but ready to keep going if you truly enjoyed it.
