I had high hopes for this book, even though I read questionable reviews. I really wanted to enjoy it but it feel pretty flat for me.
All the characters in this book were awful people. It made them all so unlikable, which is turn had me disliking all of them. All of the women especially in this book are horrible humans. They cheated on their husbands, sexually assaulted children (including their own friend's son), had obsessive/stalker tendencies, and thought themselves above the law. It was gross. For me, I have a hard time enjoying a book when I have such strong dislike for all the characters in it.
The twist at the end was unexpected. I felt like I figured out "who did it" right before it was announced. That is my reason for giving this three stars and not lower. I wouldn't recommend this one. If you have been thinking about reading it, skip it. It is not worth the time, in my opinion.

That's why I DNF this awful book at 50% through. I wanted to DNF at 30%, but kept holding out that okay, the "thriller" twist will be coming soon. Nope. Almost 50% through, all I've listened to is grown ass women abandoning their families to get drunk, drive around drunk, shoot guns at things for 5 minutes, cheat on their husbands, and flaunt off in front of and seduce teenagers who happen to also be their friends children.
There is ZERO plot or character development and I hate every single character in this book. Why did we have to deeply describe eye colors and lattes and alcohol and give so much detail to little stupid stuff and not give any to the characters? Can I also add, why would the author choose some of the language the characters use? I don't think an adult who's engaging in this type of behavior would actually use words like "Yummy!!". I typically don't DNF. But this one, I just can't waste any more time with. I can't even describe accurately how much I dislike this book. I don't even care what happened because I can probably imagine it wasn't anything to make it worth my while to finish.
Do yourselves a favor and just skip this one. 🥴
