The Villa

Having dual timelines, interviews, and newspaper articles I thought this would be so great. I can't help feeling that this was trying to be a Taylor Jenkins Reid book. Neither the flashbacks or present day chapter were done particularly well. I hated the characters and the way Emily just shrugged off everything Chess had done like that?!?!? Stupid. nothing about this book shocked me. It did pick up the last 1/4, but I had debated putting it down several times. I wanted this to be so much better!
