This book was 200 too long.... It started off good getting to know the characters and their back story, but then it became so detailed, I ended skimming through the chapters to get to the end and honestly did not even read the end. I ended up googling to see how it ended. I have never done that. I felt bad doing it, but it was just too long. Sad, I really enjoyed her book "Big Little Lies" and the show as well. This book I recommend 100% (Big Little Lies).
