She also gets to toy with a detective in an interrogation room. So what if she's a billionaire or whatever. JK about that last one, we would never. The main character was unlikable and inconsistent , like how she ran screaming from a wedding she was working but sassed a mafia don the first time she met him , and it was vaguely sexist at times despite having been written by a woman.

We also get to see a bit more of Abby's sister, and she brings a unique spunkiness to the story for a bit of levity to round out the novel. I loved the relationship that developed between Abby and Milo. There were several scenes of strong humor in the book, including her and her friend when they realized what kind of wedding they were reading for and rushing out of there. We talk about poverty and violence in rural America, masculinity, class, epic, and the classic Philadelphia tradition Wing Bowl.
