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
Moderate: Murder, Toxic relationship, Toxic friendship, Infidelity, and Alcohol
Minor: Alcoholism, Trafficking, and Domestic abuse

I jusy love reading about rich people drama. The beginning of this was really good and I was interested, but then in the middle I was kind of bored because it just felt repetitive. I wish there was more present chapters because I would honestly forget that someone was killed. *slight spoiler* Then the last little bit was actually shocking because I didn’t expect such a dark topic to be in this.

The chapters constantly change perspectives and times, and it will give you some whiplash. But if that's your thing, and hey, it's mine, it's a fun read.
May we be blessed with fun books about mean rich bitches and never have to deal with them IRL.
