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.

interesting plot!
there was nothing happen in the first 200 pages.
i agitated how the main character pissed me off too much, thus i hate her and didn't enjoy reading it.

This book was very good if you like medium to slow paced books, as it takes a while for the plot to begin and actual thicken. Towards the end of the book the plot is THICK and start moving very fast. This builds the tension and made me want to carry on reading. I don't think this book will be for everyone and there is some touchy subjects within the book (Look up triggers). However I would recommend this book to someone who like mystery books and as a one off book to read.

I started this book yesterday and oh man, I should have put it down after I saw the first couple of chapters labeled like this: Chapter 1: Tuesday, March 13, 2018. The next chapter, Chapter 2: March 20, 2018. Then the next chapter is, Chapter 3. Present. Wednesday March 14, 2018. With the following chapters being for March 15th, March 17, March 18, and AGAIN.... Present, March 21st. WTF? Just the way the chapters are, the bizarre way the book goes back in forth in time, made me realize I should have put it down. The writing is also not good and lots of other improbable things (even for the genre). Also lots of very unexpected sex with minors that is not mentioned Anywhere on the blurb or jacket. Would not have picked up on that alone. At this point I'm skimming to the end out of curiosity to see where this books is actually going so technically I'm finishing it, I guess? So there's that?

There's sex with minors though they're in their late teens so not illegal depending on the state (USA). They're 17 I think?katherinek's review

Very fast-paced and entertaining. It’s like a horrible car accident that you can’t look away from, mainly because of all the awful decisions Sophie makes; She‘s extremely reckless and basically destroys her family. I really appreciated the backstory about her mom being the same way, which offered some explanation for Sophie’s behavior, but I would’ve loved an even deeper look into why she is the way she is. The involvement of barely legal boys was very unnecessary — the author easily could’ve made them in their 20s, and the story would’ve been exactly the same. Instead we get no explanation as to why, or even if, this is wrong.
The amount of alcohol in this book is wildly concerning. The whole book, I was thinking, girl, you’re 40!! If you need to be home by midnight, put the shots down!
The social media aspect was really interesting; Sophie’s obsession with Margot through social media was very intriguing. The hashtags made me cringe, though.
I predicted several parts, but the ending was a surprise, although it didn’t shock me. Several loose ends were left untied; We never got answers about the roofie situation, Erin’s past with the group, or the creepy neighbor.
