I really wanted to like this book, because I've lived so many of Taylor Jenkins Reid's other books, but this one didn't do it for me. It was an interesting concept, but neither storyline had a compelling-enough love interest to justify how much time we spent with them. There were way too many plot points that would have been poignant or important in one storyline that got spoiled many chapters earlier in the other plotline.
The pregnancy was revealed SO EARLY in the Henry plot and it took forever to be revealed in the Ethan plot. And then the reverse happened with the Mark cheating moment.
