Rachel Weiss is a hot mess and I loved her for it. This book was a fun reading journey and I found myself laughing at or relating to Rachel's actions. The Jewish rep was great and I liked that it was a big part of Rachel and her family. I thought the group chat as a plot point was a nice touch and exploring the different aspects of female friendship was well done. While I wouldn't classify this as a romance, I did like the exploration Rachel went on to understand her own worth and happiness. I do have to note that I thought the twins were completely irrelevant and annoying. Rachel's mother was also pretty terrible and that took me slightly out of the story. Other than that this was such a fun debut and I enjoyed the story immensely.
