Honestly, I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. It quickly got you invested in the suburban drama and I loved how the book club was spaces throughout. I wish that we could have gotten a POV of Abe, or maybe even Colin, as well as some more closure on Lena/Rachael.

his is a top read for the year that kept me guessing until the end. There’s a mom who is trying her best to provide her son the education he deserves, one who watches as her daughter starts to pull away from her family, and one who has been isolated for years, holding onto guilt and deception.

Idk how I feel. That was weird. Super slow. Ending was surprising. It was a fine book. Wouldn’t recommend to a friend though.

Well this is def a boozey , suburban mom, scandalous yet thrilling read! Figuring out the narrator that “saw 2 people” was pretty easy but the events leading up to what that person “saw” is riveting and unpredictable at best! The things we Mama Bears would do for our kids, eh? Great quick read on this rainy day!

The storyline was a bit sluggish for a majority of that book. There were also several POVs that made it hard to know which character is which. This made it hard to connect with the characters as well.
I won’t be picking this book back up to reread.

Initially, I was going to give it 3 stars, but then the stories or secrets took off. The book club and the gossip of the neighborhood. It reminds me of the ABC show Desperate Housewives. Well written story line. Upscale neighbor hood drama. Interesting twist at the end.
