Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had high hopes for this book reading the reviews. I had never read a book by Emily Giffin, and maybe I shouldn’t have started with this one. Not only was it so completely politically slanted and preachy, but the storyline was flat and dull. It was more like an ongoing journal entry than a book. It had a rushed ending which was extremely anti-climactic. It was like the author was trying to just wrap things up really quickly to meet a deadline. And oh my gosh, somebody tell her to stop using italics on every single page! So irritating! Even found myself skipping pages because she droned on and on about the most pointless information and then rushed the ending. There was no heartwarming, good feeling at the end at all. I felt like I just read a really long summary of a really dull incident.
