👎 Skip It
Three friends, three crises, one fairly predictable beach read — reviewers were split, with some enjoying the easy escapism and others calling it a weaker entry compared to Mallery's other work, with character choices that frustrated more than a few readers. It's fine for a mindless weekend listen but not a must-read. Tanya Eby's narration wasn't reviewed in detail in available sources.
