4.0

I realize I’m probably being a dick as I think this, but my main complaint about this book is that the author is from WI, doesn’t live in the south, and seems fairly blaze about the guns. Like. Is the south that way about guns? Yes; we are. But you know what? As someone who fucking lives in WI (especially where she maybe lived, since apparently her other novel uses geography near me), WI is just as fucking pro gun. I also disliked having to read certain scenes twice in this one.

But I fucking love a friend group coming together to murder and take down a crime ring though, so…. My pettiness is what makes this not rated higher.

I was hooked quickly and enjoyed the dynamics of the character. However, the ending was too quick and too messy for me. It felt like the author wrote 85% of the book and then just wanted it to end, so they slapped something together.

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.

I hope I never have to interact with any of these Karen's. This story is all about white shenanigans and how not everyone is your friend. Wasn't my favorite book. At one point I just wanted it to be done so I Googled the ending. I still finished the book despite spoiling the ending for myself. 

How did the detective not figure this thing out? Because in my humble opinion everything worked out perfectly for the women and they got off scotch free. Also these women talk to much. How are they going to keep this secret? They all like to backstab each other when they feel they will get the upper hand.
