This was an adorable second chance romance between a wedding planner, Ama, and a florist, Elliot. I appreciated the flashback scenes that showed their history together compared to the current scenes where they are estranged from each other. I felt like the characters were fleshed out and interesting, though Ama's mother's background just seemed highly unrealistic. Overall I really enjoyed it!

This book wasn't really too interesting for me. I couldn't relate to Marjorie in any way possible and she just kind of seemed unauthentic. The "proof" of her character development was so utterly underwhelming and had no relation to the plot at all. It also seems that things just fall into her lap-even after she supposedly goes through a change in character. What made Freddie forgive her so easily? Why did she even get the job at the film company? She had no prior experience besides watching movies with her father. Overall, I felt the book to be not relatable and not realistic in the slightest.

The prose in this book is just mesmerizing and beautiful. Really enjoyed reading this- its my type of book. It explores women's roles and how society gives girls a distorted view of themselves. It involves murder and cults and the circumstances someone might have that would push them to join a cult. Also, the setting really complemented the plot and characters and contrasted the way the author described the Ranch. This book made me think-but not to the extent that I couldn't focus on the plot or the prose. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that even has a slightest interest in this book- It was a little "eh" in the beginning but I ended up finding myself immersed in the storyline whenever I picked it up. Its not really a true 5- but more like a solid 4.5.
