I enjoyed this book for the most part. The interesting characters and their quirkiness, but I felt the premise was a bit fake. I kept wanting to understand why Annie would find herself married to a great guy so quickly but with so many reservations. The psedo-psychological breakdown didn't really fit for me as way of explanation. The addition of the boss' interest in the second to last chapter felt forced and unnecessary. I did like the writer's voice, and felt vested enough in the characters to see how the ending played out. I would read more of Laura Dave in the future.
