The premise of this book was so good but unfortunately it started off really slow and really didn’t pick up until the back half (or more like the last quarter). There were a few twists that I didn’t see coming which kept it interesting but overall I had higher hopes for this one. I will say I think it has great potential to be adapted into a tv show or limited series a la Big Little Lies.

The people who run this club, and those drawn to become members, are exclusionary, superficial, lacking human sweetness.

3.5 stars

This was intriguing and suspenseful and kept me entertained throughout my listen. There were lots of characters to keep track of and different plots and subplots, that occasionally lost a bit of my interest here and there. The characters were a mixed bunch of likeable and unlikeable characters which I liked. I enjoyed People Like Her a little more than this one, but it was an enjoyable listen.

This reminded me of The Family Game & The Last Party, but I liked how it was written better. I felt like the interspersing of articles from news sites added to the intrigue.

Twisty and turny and full of effed up rich people drama.
