I gave the book a chance seeing that Molly Ringwald wrote it, and I'm glad I did. It was an easy read with characters that I cared about. I also felt the characters could be real people. All the story lines interconnected and it was fun figuring out which characters are connected. I saw many people did not like the ending, however, I thought it was somewhat realistic and open ended. I noticed she has written another book, and I curious to check it out.
