I went into this not knowing anything about it for plus size readathon and lesson learned: don't read a book if you're not feeling it. I kinda hate read this around about the last third. 

First half was going good. Thought it was chick-lit, then the second half transitioned to a goofy, Scooby-Doo like mystery. Tons of amateur sleuthing. FMC trusting this man she randomly runs into who is a suspect. And there's insta love between them. Did not like that and many things about the FMC decisions. 

The FMC handled many situations wrong and weird. Namely the end. How can you dismiss that character and with "We're all people" ?? No. Wtf? A lot of moments I was asking wtf.
