Loved this! It took a while for me to get into it because there are soooo many characters, but once I did I was hooked. I thought Moriarty did a great job handling sensitive subjects and complex feelings, and while I suspected something similar to the incident, I was still very surprised. I really want to watch the HBO show now because of the cat!

This has been sitting on my shelf for ages. A quick, tense read that was often unsettling but sometimes funny.

This was such an unexpected five stars for me! I was so invested in the characters and story it was hard to put down. On the surface it seems like a very superficial book filled with Karen’s and petty drama but underneath are very dark and serious themes. I also love the teasing of the mystery in the beginning and end of the chapters.
