Wow, this one was a doozy!
Not quite a thriller/mystery… but this one starts out with a murder. Now that we know someone has died, we go back a week and attend this luxury corporate retreat with tech company Aurora and its highest executives. So which one will die? And why? And who did it?

It’s not just about this murder- as we learn more and more about each character, we realize they ALL have secrets, and all have a motive, and are all very, very, very morally grey

Typically, books about snarky groups of people backstabbing each other aren't really my jam, but this latest by Emma Rosenblum completely hooked me in. Set during a corporate tech retreat weekend as the company is being sold, it is both over the top and deliciously wild. The characters are lovable and loathsome, and the story hooks on so many levels. A really really great read!

 I loved Bad Summer People so much, and this was such a let down. The characters bleed into each other, the connections are forced, and the writing is stilted and unbelievable.

Very bad company/people indeed! This title says it all and they were ALL fucked up in their own ways! Some are worse than others, but still fucked up. There were some happy moments in this book but very few and the people still weren't really redeemed. This was my 1st book by Emma Rosenblum but will not be my last!
