Really enjoyed this. It was a fun, insightful read. Loved the romance writing heroine who got her happy ending.
Loved the character arc of the other 8 people too. This author is a natural storyteller.

Loved it. I read it in 4 days, in amongst a busy schedule. Loved the characters. Laughed and was in suspense and just could not believe the methods used to detox.
