This book scratched my love for #RichPeopleProblems, but not in a way that I would categorize as particularly thrilling. Do people die? Sure. Are secrets kept? You bet. But the reveal felt simultaneously obvious and irritatingly simple. Gone Girl, she is certainly not.

This was very “meh” for me. I think it is meant to be a quick, fun, popcorn read, but it didn’t do much for me. All of the characters are flat and the setting has been so overdone at this point. All of the twists fell pretty flat for me. It is very glossy and a little simplistic for me; there are lots of hyper contemporary references. I have also read about a million thrillers like this, and I don’t think it will be a real heavy hitter with a lot of lasting power. That being said, it is fun and fast paced. I think fans of The Club by Ellery Lloyd would enjoy this.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
