Found it hard to connect with this book. I found it very slow paced and lacked proper structure. 

The characters some more charming than others did have some good moments and they helped absorb me into it. Hence why I have given it two stars rather than one.

A generally fun read with a suitably emotional ending. There is however a bitter streak throughout the book, which is worthy of Bitchy Queen, the anonymous gossip blogger in the story, and is at times uncomfortable for its relentless negativity.

A really good read. The drama builds throughout with new revelations and tension. And the characters all feel real. They aren't there just to support the main protagonists but have lives of their own which affect the action and their interactions.
This is more than just a relationship story, it's also a bit of a mystery with the phantom blogger appearing throughout. And it covers a range of relationships, mother/daughter, mother/son, father/daughter, best friends, gay partners and all kinds of casual acquaintances.
