A few thoughts:
🎀 I struggled hard with this book, but kept reading to try & understand why other people gave great reviews. I definitely got the feel-good, wholesome vibes towards the end of the book as the lives of those Jolene worked with start to unravel & you begin to understand the whole point is that you don’t know what’s going on in other people’s lives. 
🎀 This book gave me anxiety. I really need to steer clear of these depressive, neurotic characters. I end up feeling uncomfortable while they do odd things & create weird little messes for themselves. 
🎀 The plot had so much potential!! The idea that the main character had access to all her colleagues digital messages & emails seemed so enticing as a storyline, but this didn’t hit the mark for me.
