On the outside, Jenny and Shane seem like they have it all. He’s followed his dreams of becoming a published author and she is a popular social influencer and designer whose star is rising. To top it off, the couple lives in one of her family homes she’s always had her sights set on with plans to buy the home outright anonymously from her mother. But her relationship with her mom and sister is like walking across a minefield. Her mother has the ultimate showdown in store - who will survive it?
Okay the setup for this was pretty solid. You have family drama; you have a stalker; you have a host of insufferable characters. But somewhere it just fell flat for me. The secrecy seemed a little implausible to keep under wraps for that long. The plot twist was too elaborate. And the callousness and childish cattiness of these characters just straight took me out. I think for a different reader, this could be solid but it just didn’t hit right for me personally.
