Solid 4 stars, a great summer read. Took me a minute to get into, and I was worried this would be one where I only sympathized with one character in the story and thought the rest were obnoxious, but Hepworth ended up developing them all in an interesting way. Similar to Lucy, while I first found Diana annoying and eye-rolly, she kind of grew on me, or at least I became sympathetic to her. Would've liked to see some further repercussions for the murderer, and didn't exactly understand why Diana changed her will so extremely, but I did enjoy it.

I wouldn't necessarily call this book a thriller. Yet it does remind you not to judge a book by its cover because not everything is what it seems.

Didn't work for me. Too much miscommunication or not communication at all. I didn't like any of the characters so that didn't help

I'd give this 3.5 stars. I go back and forth with it. I loved the back and forth perspectives. You think Diana is a totally terrible person until you read her perspective of something that happened. I feel like it had such a good start and then just fizzled out. I don't love the way Diana's death was resolved. I suppose I liked how Lucy and Ollie ended up, but the ending overall was just not my favorite.
