I really wanted to love this book. I found the secondary characters (especially Tuesday) more interesting than the Protagonist. The mystery was just so-so, as I had it figured out pretty early. Olivia really wasn't very likeable since I can't relate to someone who is shallow and superficial. She had an unhealthy relationship with her ex who was a horrifying caricature of a rich playboy. Her focus on clothing and name brands made her story about getting away from L.A. seem more like a plot device to get her into a smaller town than her trying to change her life and grow as a person. It was obvious she left because of the ex, and that made her seem wimpy. The Detective she is attracted to seemed dull and lifeless. I am glad I got this for free or I would have been upset by the poor writing and lack of editing.
