If the characters can't find anything about each other to like, then how can you expect the readers to like them?I'm sorry to say that this book was very amateurish. All of the background information was given at the beginning. The author wrote the thoughts of every character in a scene instead of writing a scene from the perspective of one character and then showing the other characters' thoughts through their actions or words. When we know what everyone thinks, there's no tension in the story.The story lines were also implausible. For 90% or more of the book, two of the characters are self-centered and bitchy, then suddenly they become forgiving and reasonable. Sure, this happens in other books, but it's the result of character growth, which isn't shown in this story. The characters are exactly the same for the entire story and then suddenly, they change.One character's son is living in a cult. She finds him there, he won't leave with her. She goes home and tells her husband and he gets mad at her for looking for the son. So, for several months, she does nothing to find her son. But, one day her husband and one of the other friends goes to get him and they are able to get him out of the cult in a day. Really?
