note, Lucy told her brother to try and tell his triplets apart by studying them like he does viruses. That’s weird right? And HOW many times did she have to feel tears “welling up in her eyes.” The constant comparison between Gabe and Darren was a bit annoying. And finally, most importantly, not really a believable love between Gabe and Lucy. I’m so sorry if you read this, Jill Santopolo. If I knew the book ended like that, I wouldn’t have picked it up. Seems very much, for lack of a nicer term, a try hard book.31:T54c,I liked it and I didn't.
It is definitely made for upper class to relate to. I found a lot of the issues the main character complained about eye rolling. Just to give you an idea she & her husband own a very nice house in New York but he surprises her by buying their vacation home, that she loves, and she gets upset that it wasn't a decision they made together, like no girl, no I'd be over the moon.
