2.5

There were 6-7 main characters in the book, all women, and all unlikeable in one way or another. 

There was also lots left to be desired here…

Maybe it was the narration of the audiobook? Or the blandness of the characters who all allowed themselves to become victims (of a dead woman no less)?

Maybe it was the weakness of the men surrounding them? Or the heavily overused social media aspect that annoyed me?  Even the twist ending with a twist wasn’t satisfying. Just so very “meh” in so many ways.
