This is a story about crazy, obsessed people. The manipulative, smart, crazy, met the obsessed.
It is nicely written and the book isn't too long, although at the end of the day the subject is a bit weak and the ending disappointing.

This book went basically where I thought it would go, but it didn't get there the way I thought it would. It was dark and a bit disturbing (the women are nuts!), but interesting and made for a "can't put down" read!

Listened to this on audio all in one day while traveling, and it was SO fun! I enjoyed Robyn Harding’s last book, The Arrangement, but saw the flaws and knew it wasn’t a well crafted book. This was the same way. A good domestic thriller with scandals and so much drama!!!! Not a literary masterpiece by any means, but it had me intrigued the whole time.

Thank God I'm finally done with this book (Something I never thought would happen)
I know a thriller is supposed to be disturbing, but this one is just boring? extra disturbing? I lack the words.
I felt 0 empathy for the characters, who are all obsessing over Freya, the beautiful blonde, crazy manipulative bitch. The book is full of triggers (rape, vomiting, recreational drug use, scars, toxic relationships, infertility, death, blood) that just does not sit right and make the all experience unpleasant, and not just because the book is a thriller. This was not a good thrilling story. I'm glad I'm done with it.
