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.

poisonnv's review

Started to see hints of some super uncomfortable content that should never, ever be used to dramatize a plot line. Originally picked this over a year ago and clearly must have missed the warnings. Regardless of that though the flippant nature of conversation used to illustrate underage grooming wasn't something I was willing to continue reading.

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.
