The audio book for this novel was by far my favorite part. The two different narrators really embodied the characters and fed even deeper into the dichotomy between these two women. I appreciate Stratton tackling some intense topics with a quick-to read and easily digestible mystery. She paints such a vivid set of characters, I could swear I have all met them before in real life! I feel like I could see what was coming in the end so while I appreciate the character work the story itself wasn't anything world changing. I will say it doesn't end with a fairytal ending, which I appreciate as it sticks to the more true to life approach. This was just a quick, tense, and dare I say fun read. Anyone looking for a good mystery would like this book and might even get a little social commentary out of it as well.
