Stephanie Eding's Said No One Ever didn't quite work for me. There were parts of it that were charming and fun but as a whole it didn't come together. Ellie arrives at her airbnb in the middle of nowhere Montana as her hostess, Marilyn, is being carted off in an ambulance. Ellie doesn't know what … [Read more]
