This book was a whirlwind of plotwists and secrets and a bunch of old-money drama between siblings and their wealthy parents.
Although this book was fun, it was definitely difficult to get into because of the amount of main characters and important side characters that this book introduces you to in the first few chapters. Those chapters were something I really had to push myself to get through.
After you learn who everyone is though, that's where the real story starts and that's when it gets good.
This book to me felt like 'If Gossip Girl went dark' and I really enjoyed letting myself get swept away by the secrets and lies of the so-called picture perfect Calhaun family, and I could've never guessed the big plotwist at the end.

I love sordid family dramas and this DID NOT disappoint.
The Calhouns are a picture perfect family, with a beautiful marriage, elegant parties, Christmas cards with coordinated outfits… but there is a lot of filth lurking beneath the surface.
At their annual cherry blossom party, the facade is beginning to crack. Then, a murder shocks their entire world.
Everyone is freaking out. Each member of the family begins to panic, with their individual skeletons in their respective closets being exposed. The investigation into the murder is heating up and the carefully constructed world they have created is crumbling.
This was a great popcorn thriller. I love dysfunctional families and this one was intense. The Calhouns are a freaking mess! With resentment, manipulation, past crimes and infidelity, there are many, many potential murderers… and the ride to find out who was responsible was FUN!
