This was not what I would call a thriller per say but the suburban wives drama with a side of murder is so fun. The villians are so caricature-y but in a way that makes everything so intensely dramatic. Every time x character did something I thought they couldn’t be any worse and I was wrong. But I had a fun time with it.

This audiobook took me forever to read, which is weird because I was enjoying it. 

I jusy love reading about rich people drama. The beginning of this was really good and I was interested, but then in the middle I was kind of bored because it just felt repetitive. I wish there was more present chapters because I would honestly forget that someone was killed. *slight spoiler* Then the last little bit was actually shocking because I didn’t expect such a dark topic to be in this.

This felt like a 3 star read for the first half of the book. The characters are painfully unlikeable (on purpose) and the writing is quite good but I just don’t feel entertained by middle aged rich housewives. Then somewhere around 60% things got REAL. The characters still suck, but there are some dark twists that I did not see coming. Read this in one day, fun and unputdownable. If you’re a real housewives fan I think you would EAT this up!

I did not see this coming. I love novels that show up and give me a surprise ending. However, I am a self proclaimed prude. Medium sexual content and medium profanity. I loved there were multiple narrators in the audiobook. It makes listening a lot of fun.
