Everyone in this book was terrible and it somehow wasn't that fun.
Sophie moves back to her hometown and becomes obsessed with sassy gun toting Margot, in a bunny-boiler kind of way. She earns an invite to their Friday night hunting club, where the married ladies all go out and pick up dudes. Sophie, despite being married with a child, is sucked into these girls nights out and keeps missing curfew and blowing off her husband. She then finds out that Margot is having an affair with one of the other women's son! Ick ick ick. She has a brief dalliance with another teen, and I do think pedophilia makes you irredeemable. There is some cat and mouse when the teen boy's girlfriend shows up murdered, with Sophie thinking she's being framed, but ultimately it was the mom of the boy Margot's been sleeping with. Whatever. Messy ladies who did not get their deserved comeupance.

What a ride. After the 250ish page hump, the book picks up. Infidelity is a large plot point for this book, which is why I assume most people rate this book low. I am also not a fan of that plot line either but boy oh boy did the story get good after that. The hunting wives are just a bunch of women who seem perfect but beneath everything, they are hiding secrets and their own guilty pleasures. The ending was crazy. If only you could see my face/reactions after reading some of the plot twists.

This book was actually a complete mind-fuck. I read it in one day, and I will probably be thinking about it for a while.
You'll love this book if you love drama, deception, and a good murder mystery.

Sophie becomes obsessed with Margo. She stalks on Facebook and does whatever she can to get close to her. She weasels her way into Margo’s friend group, The Hunting Wives, and drama ensues. 

The main characters in this book are not likable at all. Sophie’s husband is a good guy, but everyone else is awful and annoying. I literally did not care what happened to anyone. 

Also, the mystery part of this book didn’t start until like 2/3 through the book. The whole beginning is just Sophie obsessing over Margo and making stupid, horrible decisions.  

I powered through because I heard people say good things and I hate not finishing. The end wasn’t a shock to me but it did raise my rating a bit. Otherwise I’d have rated it even lower.
