This book has nice pacing and interesting characters, but I'm afraid it wasn't for me.
I had an issue with one of the main characters saying that she's a lesbian but some men are an exception for her, because to me it read a lot like the whole "lesbians just need to find the right man" argument and I truly couldn't move past it to finish the book. While I understand that sexuality is fluid and people can change labels at any time or sleep with whomever they want, the use of the word "lesbian" in this particular context was upsetting to me personally. However I understand that that won't be the case for everyone else, and so I suggest giving the book a go because the story seemed fun and the character dynamics were interesting.
