Meredith, while as not as self involved as Josie, is far more mean spirited. Josie is self centered but not mean spirited.

Not so much for Meredith. This book really brought me down, it's depressing. I loved Emily Giffin's early books. Life is too short to waste it on bad books so I may be done with this author.

Giffin did an excellent job of writing a self centered, entitled, immature character. Josie is so self centered the book seems to want to make her a sympathetic character but I could not see it.

All of her efforts are to get everyone to do things in a way that is most beneficial for her and the author seems to want us to empathize with her position. I couldn't.

Painfully slow I am interested in these people. However, I don't like them at all and it feels like we are taking a long while to get to any real climatic event.
