One of my favorite Emily Giffin books. I've been a fan since "Something Borrowed." I have read all her books and honestly, I didn't enjoy the last few. But this book changed everything and I was hooked as soon as I started reading and didn't want to put it down.

Pretty much through the whole book I wasn't sure who was telling the truth about what really happened at the party and the stories constantly changed. I also couldn't believe Lyla didn't think it was that big of deal. She even defended Finch and thought the picture was sort of artsy. I enjoyed the story, it reminded me of news stories I had recently seen. I wasn't sure why the police weren't involved. Finch was eighteen and Lyla was underage. I couldn't stand Kirk or Finch. To them the whole incident was no big deal and their money should get them out of any situation. I was glad to see Nina really cared for Lyla and was concerned for her welfare, even though her son was he cause of the problem. There was so much more to the story, especially when Polly revealed what she knew about Finch and his friend. Finch was truly despicable and I could see he modeled himself after his dad instead of his mom. I'm not sure how Nina managed to spend that many years married to Kirk, especially since none of her true friends or family even liked him. How did she not see what type of person her son was turning into?

I definitely recommend the book and look forward to reading more books by the author.
