If you're a fan of Real Housewives or Desperate Housewives, this is the book for you that dishes out all the drama and backstabbing you want. As someone new to thrillers, I found it less gripping than expected, but it definitely sparked my interest in exploring more of the genre. Overall, it's a decent read for fans of scandal and interpersonal drama, but don't expect too many heart-pounding moments.

I'm not a usual mystery/thriller reader but I am a reality TV show lover! The plot concept was very intriguing and this book did not disappoint. 

Such Real Housewives energy but tenfold. The drama, cattiness, backstabbing and plotting is thick in this book!! I loved how it all centered these oppulant, rich women and their hotspot, Glow Beauty Bar. the multiple POVs on audio was just fantastic with the cast of actors. 

The ending did feel a bit abrupt but it felt realistic with how crazy this cast of character were the whole time. The buildup of everyone's character and background made you feel like it could've been anyone who was murdered and the murderer! But overall I think it was a great book that was great on audio, with something for everyone in the plot IMO. Will be checking out other works from Jeneva Rose.

As a hairstylist, salon owner, and thriller lover I found this book to be un put down able! In this book Jeneva Rose delivers a multiple POV mystery thriller revolving around a group of wealthy frienemies and their husbands. We learn to love and hate each character as their stories unravel and deceptions are brought to light. This plot if full of twist and turns with an ending you will never see coming.

The slowest burn I've ever read from a thriller. Only picked up at the 7 hour mark. Which is a little unfortunate that you spend 7 hours listening to only get 2 hours of intriguing action.

This was like if an episode of Law and Order met Desperate Housewives. It was pretty slow up until like 70% then I finished it in one sitting.

The ending on this felt a little rushed. Also a bit too much telling rather than showing. But I loved the characterization of each woman and how they felt like their own whole characters. I do wish that Olivia’s obvious sociopathy was explored a bit more.
