I liked this book quite a bit. Usually with multi pov books I find myself never in the pov of the person I actually want to hear from, but didn't experience that in this book at all. Looking back I should have figured out the ending sooner, and I was still somewhat surprised. There were some things at the end that felt unnecessary and others that could have had more depth. Not my favorite ending but the buildup was solid and the author was able to get me to root for some characters I initially hated (in that "love to hate" kind of way.

except Oliva, I hate hated her all the way through

). Overall pretty fun book, as much as you can call a book about murder and terrible people fun.

I loved reading this book is about these women living in Atlanta, buckhead called themselves the Buckhead women’s foundation is an elite women who plan these charity events  for there community. It’s Karen, Jenny , crystal , Shannon , Olivia . These women had so much drama going with their life , secrets , betrayal with each of other, plot twist.  It was a well thought out book to read the author did a fantastic job tell the readers each of the characters point of view what was going on . I think people who really enjoyed reading this book if you like reading thriller it’s not a very graphic scary book to read but there are some explicit part of the book. Which I didn’t except to read about. I was really surprised to find out who killed of the women and why so good and exciting.

This felt like a 3 star read for the first half of the book. The characters are painfully unlikeable (on purpose) and the writing is quite good but I just don’t feel entertained by middle aged rich housewives. Then somewhere around 60% things got REAL. The characters still suck, but there are some dark twists that I did not see coming. Read this in one day, fun and unputdownable. If you’re a real housewives fan I think you would EAT this up!

Very predictable twists and turns, and I wish the story hadn’t seemed to take its self so seriously. It was a fun ride at times, and if it had kept the lighter mood it had at the start it would have been overall much better. The end and “shocking” revolution wasn’t shocking at all, and seemed out of character for everyone in that situation, especially Jenny. Several questions were left unanswered which annoyed me. That said, I did still enjoy most of this book.

Think what would happen if some Real Housewives got mixed up into trouble. Catty, glamorous, and funny all wrapped up in this thriller. The author was able to add in pop culture references here and there without being cringy and the short chapters made it so easy to want to keep reading.
