A review by heidirgorecki
The Sunset Crowd by Karin Tanabe

3.0

The writing was ok, albeit a bit wordy and on the slow side. The biggest detractor for me is I found I really did not like any of the characters or the setting. Everyone was superficial, self-absorbed and self-serving. Even Bea, who at least cared about her friends some of the time was obsessed with her friend’s boyfriend non-stop. Yes she honored the relationship but it didn’t stop the obsession and the laying in wait till the second it was going to implode. And I was annoyed that even after the odd and off interactions with the friend in question (trying to avoid spoilers) she ignored them and everyone just continued in the self-absorbed and superficial way of life cuz why wouldn’t you dive into whatever entertained you or made you feel good about yourself.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
