A book with this much sex and murder should not be this boring!! It wasn't necessarily predictable... I just didn't really care by the end.

This follows the 'frenemy' group of women in Buckhead, with the premise that one of them is going to wind up dead at the end of this story. The plot was dramatic and juicy. 

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

This audiobook took me forever to read, which is weird because I was enjoying it. 

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.

I was hooked quickly and enjoyed the dynamics of the character. However, the ending was too quick and too messy for me. It felt like the author wrote 85% of the book and then just wanted it to end, so they slapped something together.

I wouldn’t say this is a thriller but it was a good story and drew me in. I liked how there were multiple narrators that each played their own character as it made it easier to follow along with. Speaking of narrator, Brittany who is the voice of Krystle, makes me think of the actress who plays Tansi from Hart of Dixie and that was all I could picture for the rest of the book. Maybe it was the speed I was listening to but I really thought it was her!
I’d say 75% of the book is a slow burn and mainly just talked about the rich women of Buckhead. The last bit is definitely where the action is and left me quite surprised. I really did not see the ending coming! I took one star off my review just because I felt like the ending was a bit rushed compared to the rest of the story and it made it a bit difficult to follow along with. I had to listen to it a couple times just to truly understand what happened.

The slowest burn I've ever read from a thriller. Only picked up at the 7 hour mark. Which is a little unfortunate that you spend 7 hours listening to only get 2 hours of intriguing action.
