I really enjoyed reading this! I thought the twist was very easy to guess and I ended up being right but I still enjoyed getting there. I think I actually enjoyed the first half of the book more than the second. It didn't pick up speed in the way that it should have towards the end and the flashbacks to bullying were honestly difficult to stomach.

This was a fun read with a good ending. I did see the twist coming pretty early on but that's probably because I read so many books like this. I still enjoyed reading it and I'm honestly happy it ended with the twist it did.

The characters blended together into a terrible amalgam of a person. I had a hard time keeping track of which one was which but knew they were all awful people. Maybe I’ve read too many books in this genre, but I found it predictable.

The premise of this book was so fun and interesting (a revenge plot is always a fun romp!), but I totally guessed literally every little twist of each of these unlikeable characters. Honestly the guessing didn’t bother me, but I found it incredibly hard for about 30% of the book to distinguish between Chloe/Annabel and Tanya/Esther. They felt like slightly similar shades of lipstick. A good beach read!

This was very good. The only thing that confused me was Esther's storyline after Poppy's death. But 10/10 for Wendy. Iconic. I think she should have killed Annabel too cause in the end she still felt no remorse that they drove Poppy killed herself.

This book was so annoying I almost didn’t finish it. All of the characters are terrible people so you really don’t care what happens to them. Even the twist was semi-predictable. The changing of viewpoints every chapter became tiresome and I was constantly flipping backwards to figure out who was writing. Would not recommend.

I had the twists figured out in the first chapters of the book but stayed reading to see how it would play out. And those bitches were absolutely heartless for no reason and deserved worse than they received.

3.5/5 stars rounded down

I read thrillers for the tiny details, especially psychological thrillers. Unfortunately this book did not share my appreciation for those tiny details. It was a fun read and the writing was fantastic, but there are so many plot holes that I can’t give it 4 stars. Treat this book as a fun, quick read and I’m sure most thriller lovers will enjoy it! (Just don’t think about the plot too much after finishing it)
