As to be expected, I guess, parts of this book were like watching a car crash in slow motion. You just knew it was going to end up badly. For example, Maddie gets a phone call from her "long lost uncle" (who she's NEVER spoken to) and he wants her to invest $500k in some real estate deal. Obviously I was like, "don't do it, Maddie, don't do it" and she does it. We all know that's a bad idea. It was all kind of frustrating but perhaps expected from a lot of people who win the lottery - a lot of throwing money around without much thought going into it.
Cute, fluffy, fun, sometimes mildly frustrating, but alas.
