I could see why people wouldn't like this. The kind of person who would enjoy this has to be someone who enjoys drama that isn't about them or just fun, petty shit.
And I am one of those people.
This was a lot of fun, especially the audiobook. My favorite being Hillary Huber hamming it up as Olivia. There's so much petty shit that actually ends up mattering for the reveal of who killed who. I was eager to see what ridiculous shit people did next.
My big issue is there really is that there's really 6 main characters but we only get 5 POVs. And the one that's left out is the black girl, Keisha.
*Spoilers*
I was stoked that there ended up being a queer romance but without her POV, this just makes Keisha an object of desire that we never see the thoughts of. That combined with how much she "quips" and puts her hand on her hip, she really deserved more development and less being the "hot sassy black lesbian" that's just there to defend her white boss and being the gay awakening of her white girlfriend.
