3.5 stars. Not my favorite book by Emily Giffin, but a good read. Very relevant topic to today’s world, with the ease of taking and sharing photos. It made me never want to let my kids have cell phones. Goes to show how a bad decision and really mess up your entire life. I liked the characters (except Kirk) but I feel like too many issues were crammed into the book - date rape, drinking, infidelity, divorce, abandonment, suicide, etc. They were relevant to the plot but it started feeling like more and more was being thrown at me. I almost think the book needed another 50 pages to spend time going deeper into some of the plot (Polly, Finch/Lyla, Kirk being unfaithful, the Honor Court). Instead of a quick epilogue, I would have preferred more of the story, especially the end. It felt rushed.
