This book was quite enjoyable to read, however, there are certain things which I did not appreciate. *SPOILERS* First of all, plot holes. It is not possible to print a fake diamond with a 3d printer; a ring pop, maybe but not a diamond. I understand this is fiction but details like that keep naggin at you throughout the book and take away from the immersive experience this book could have been. Secondly, the characters could have been a bit more fleshed out. We spend a lot of time exploring Cat and Louise, but what about Stephen? What about Evan, Darcy, Olivia? Why do we spend time reading how Olivia and Darcy make up if there was almost no time spent describing their fight? I did not understand who Stephan was supposed to be except for the fact that he is rich. And Louisa's final scene with Elijah? Give me a break, I could not believe for a second Louisa did not have the composure to control herself on her wedding day and potentially harm her perfect image in case anyone finds out.
