I honestly wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this book at first. I did enjoy the story.
I just felt there were too many characters being introduced almost right up to the end of the book. Many of these characters were not really needed in my opinion.

I don't feel as though I have any other choice but to love this book. The writing was, unsurprisingly, amazing. The characters (of which there were quite a few, both major and incredibly minor) were crafted with such detail and complexity there was no way to not comprehend their motivations or their emotions. At first it feels like you're passively along for the ride until suddenly at some point you feel like you're part of the story, inside the heads of the characters and watching everything unfold from above. There are things I could probably critique about the story as a whole, but I think the point of this book was how valuable the pieces were and how they fit together in the end. I couldn't put it down and I genuinely enjoyed myself while reading it. It had the glam and impact that I've come to expect from Taylor Jenkins Reid while still bringing something totally new to the table. Her books are definitely a must read for me.
