This book isn’t worthy of any stars IMO.
I’m pretty confident I have never read anything as mediocre as this book. I found myself rushing through it simply to get it over with.
None of the characters were likable. NONE. I could rant about every one of them but I don’t even think this book is worth another second of my time.
I particularly want to call out Maja. She is one of those people that thinks having a baby or buying a house is going to save her marriage. She is dedicated… I’ll give her that.
The story line was so bland I wanted to pull my hair out. Where is the action? Where is the suspense? I read for entertainment. If I wanted to be this bored, I would have stared at a blank wall for days.
And then of course, there is the misleading cover. This is not a mystery/thriller. This is a story about some spoiled kids who lack discipline and a woman who is unable to give up on a relationship that is in shambles. That is all.
I’m done with this book. I regret wasting my time. Do yourself a favor and learn from my mistakes.

Fully agree with this review. Everyone was unlikeable and had their own sense of entitlement. It was frustrating to read. Also was their an editor? Multiple times just blatantly didn’t make sense (Maja was in New Falls at cvs buying a test, then taking the test in her apartment, then back to waiting for a bus to go back to the city to make a doctors appointment).

But with that said, I don't think a proper editor could have saved this book from circling the drain.
