Please note that I read this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my review or rating. I really wanted to like this book, but honestly it was driving me up the wall.

I really wish that we had invested more in her relationship with her best friend, provided more backstory […]

I think the biggest issue I had was liking the character of Eileen. I just found […]
