McKenna Keaton has spent her life in pursuit of a prestigious New York law career...to the exclusion of all else. Even in high school, her boyfriends were just placemarks for the important events like prom and homecoming, requiring little attention from her. But her life goes up in flames when, instead of being named senior partner at her law firm, she's being investigated for embezzlement. She returns home to Durham, North Carolina in shame, only telling her favorite sister what happened. But when a face from her past reappears, she has some hard decisions to make about her future. Henry Blumenthal, her nerdy friend from high school, is now Hank Blume, a celebrated and successful documentarian, and he admits to his massive crush on her in high school.
I liked how down-to-earth Henry was despite his success. And his excitement for the mystery in the Keaton genealogy was fun to read. I didn't really connect with McKenna's character. So many of McKenna's troubles could have been solved by telling the truth! It seemed like her whole family was so warm and loving toward her and she really treated them all badly.
