I had high hopes for this book, even though I read questionable reviews. I really wanted to enjoy it but it feel pretty flat for me.
All the characters in this book were awful people. It made them all so unlikable, which is turn had me disliking all of them. All of the women especially in this book are horrible humans. They cheated on their husbands, sexually assaulted children (including their own friend's son), had obsessive/stalker tendencies, and thought themselves above the law. It was gross. For me, I have a hard time enjoying a book when I have such strong dislike for all the characters in it.
The twist at the end was unexpected. I felt like I figured out "who did it" right before it was announced. That is my reason for giving this three stars and not lower. I wouldn't recommend this one. If you have been thinking about reading it, skip it. It is not worth the time, in my opinion.
