Cons:
* The majority of these characters are off the scale unlikable
* A lot of the plot twists were predictable
* It dragged on, and could have been a bit quicker paced
I would skip this and go read "Big Little Lies" instead because that had way more drama and intrigue, and the characters were actually fleshed beyond just being rich and deluded.
Pro:
* Alternating POVs between chapters
* The audio book did a great job differentiating between the different characters

It was soooooo good!!
Think, Housewives of Atlanta but with murder. Think, Botox and fake boobs but with with malicious intent. Strong Alexis and David vibes.
Okay and obvi, the book is titled “One of us is dead” so you for sure have no idea who it is right up until the end. It’s a pretty slow pace (meaning there’s no actual action until the 50% mark), but you just need to sit back and enjoy your popcorn in the comments section. Because, DRAMA. I cannot tell you how many times I said the phrase “Girl, no he didn’t.” Or “omg ew. She’s such a b*tch” or “periodt.”
Let the tea just spill all out, yall.
GO READ THIS! Ok love you. Bye.
