5.0

I loved reading this book is about these women living in Atlanta, buckhead called themselves the Buckhead women’s foundation is an elite women who plan these charity events  for there community. It’s Karen, Jenny , crystal , Shannon , Olivia . These women had so much drama going with their life , secrets , betrayal with each of other, plot twist.  It was a well thought out book to read the author did a fantastic job tell the readers each of the characters point of view what was going on . I think people who really enjoyed reading this book if you like reading thriller it’s not a very graphic scary book to read but there are some explicit part of the book. Which I didn’t except to read about. I was really surprised to find out who killed of the women and why so good and exciting.

3.0

This follows the 'frenemy' group of women in Buckhead, with the premise that one of them is going to wind up dead at the end of this story. The plot was dramatic and juicy. 

Cons: 
* The majority of these characters are off the scale unlikable
* A lot of the plot twists were predictable 
* It dragged on, and could have been a bit quicker paced

I would skip this and go read "Big Little Lies" instead because that had way more drama and intrigue, and the characters were actually fleshed beyond just being rich and deluded. 

Pro: 
* Alternating POVs between chapters 
* The audio book did a great job differentiating between the different characters
