Wow, I wasn't expecting to like this book so much! Contemporary beach reads involving ultra-rich people are NOT my cup of tea--at all. This book did the unthinkable-- I enjoyed a contemporary beach read. It really surprised me and made me love the characters. I flew through this story staying up way too late to see what happened. I thought the characters were relatable and real, and I was rooting for them. I could definitely relate to the main character Ruthie as I think we all can. We've all been in a situation where we felt betrayed, and I needed to hear some of her insights into how to handle that with dignity and (eventual) grace. Life and relationships are always going to be messy but they can both be mended if you put in the work. There were a few gut-punch moments that I enjoyed immensely, and overall I was very satisfied with the ending.
