I don’t really know what I was expecting… but it wasn’t that.

So many unlikeable characters. The only one worth caring about is young Poppy. I had guessed parts at the end, so things weren't a total reveal to me.

“In reality, we all stick together because we know no one else would ever understand what we did in the past. And the trouble is, we’ve all become so convinced that what we did was alright that we’ve accepted an invitation from the very woman we did it to.”

“As people chatter around me, I can’t help but wonder. Am I sitting with good, honest people going about their day, happily leaving a pleasant holiday? Or people concealing terrible secrets?”

SpoilerThe characters were insufferable, the narrative repetitive, and you could see the ending from miles away.

Not to blame the victim, but why did Poppy never tell a single soul she was being bullied so severely? And why would these adult women go on a trip with someone they hated?

I predicted every twist so I was a tad bored.
