Salacious!

This is basically Jerry Springer + The Real Housewives + murder.

I loved and hated every single while reading this book and I loved the plot twist

Warning!: age gap relationships, adultery, murder, drugging, and mentions of abortion.

This was not what I thought it would be. I thought it would be a fun, fast-paced thriller, which it was, but not until closer to the end of the book. Mostly 'The Hunting Wives' was basically house wife drama. One thing people should know before jumping into this book is that two women end up having sexual relationships with 17-year-old kids. So if you don't like that, you probably shouldn't read this book. Other than that, I ended up enjoying the book, and it slightly reminded me of Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. But just slightly.

I didn’t like a single character in this book. Not one. & especially not the main character, not in the beginning, middle, or end. The only reason I’ll give it 2 stars is because the mystery did have my guessing a little bit but I rolled my eyes at least twice a chapter.

Nope nope absolutely not. I finished it, wish I hadn’t. A bunch of alcoholics in their 40s having relationships with 17 year olds. Not one likable character. Ugh.
