The Breakaway by Jennifer Weiner
2.5
medium-paced
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Thank you @atriabooks @netgalley for a copy of this. Let me start with infidelity always me cringe and knocks down the rating. Cheating is never okay and it felt like Abby didn't care about her consequences knowing what she was doing was wrong turned me off. 

I enjoyed that Abby wasn't a thin bike leader and that her mom went along the ride. I liked that Abby and Sebastian did have a connectivity from their one night stand and did develop a friendship. There was a lot of drama that was added to the story with side characters that felt like extra stories without too much depth. 

2.5 stars
