Real Housewives meets Murder She Wrote.  98% unlikeable characters and you don’t even root for the least unlikeable.  But I still wanted to know how it played out.

3.5

The book is more mystery, little thriller. Perfect for scary cats. Easy to read, good for a beach or weekend read.

The beginning was a little confusing has you try to figure out was going on and so much weird stuff starts happening that you are like Belle saying “that’s not normal, that’s not cool”. It really picked up for me past the middle of the book and from there I couldn’t put it down and just wanted my two questions answered. 

Which brownie points to the author, cause she did answer them. The ending did not surprise me much and it did wrap up very nicely. No loose ends.

One of my favorite books of the year and SO underrated. Why haven’t I heard more about this book?? Literally impossible to put down. A yacht in the south of France, a vacation turned sinister, old white billionaires being taken down by millennial women…I’ll take it.
