I like the plot and general idea of four women all confessing to the same crime but I feel like the execution was too slow and dragged at times. But, the plot twist was good and generally well done.

Easy read, but the writing felt cheap. I also would’ve liked the characters to be explored outside of their relationship status and children (or lack thereof). I love a story about mothers, but there wasn’t much more to the characters than that, and there was potential for there to be. I’m never one to predict the ending of a book, so the ending did take me by surprise. I liked the ending of the story, it tied together the different characters well. Overall, I would only really recommend this to someone who wants something easy to read. Was not for me.

Such intrigue! The resort setting was pretty nice too and I loved the focus on not only the mystery but the friendships between the women.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to review this book!

This was a fun read. I liked how distinct all the characters were, and how all the problems in their lives were displayed. Each has something another wants, but is the grass really greener on the other side? And who killed the mystery man?

I thought that there was a good balance between mystery, crime, and humanity. I love the layers that are peeled back, and how nothing is quite what it seems. There were several good twists, and I found this to be a real page turner!
