this book is overrated ~ tried to like it but it dissolved into nothing by the end.

I enjoyed the fact that this book took place in a setting that is under explored. I liked the discussion of elite spaces and the focus on lies. There was a lot of tension in the book that was developed by not knowing who either sister could trust. I also found the jumps in time and perspective of narrator to be engaging. It gave a more well-rounded understanding of the story. The only reason that I don’t give it a 4 or 5 is that I felt like it was overly drawn out in some areas. It developed tension but also caused me to periodically lose interest.

Too many white people names. In the end, I was not sure who the killer was. Anyway, i would recommend this as a beach read, nothing more.

3.5 stars- enjoyed and would recommend!
