Too much switching between characters. Too long and drawn out.

I enjoyed this.  Kind of a slice of life book of the worst people in society.  A dead body found on the poor mans version of the Hamptons and the unloveable cast of characters make this an interesting read.  I was not pulling for any of them except for the gay teen bartender, Micah!  They were all cheating on each other and trying to hide their secrets.

sometimes you just need to read a book about rich people who are all different levels of both delusional and deranged. it's fun to me.

i'm rating this three stars purely on the fact that i had a lot of fun with it. the last 10% weren't very good, but the rest of the book was just stupid indulgent fun, honestly. i have a soft spot for multiple povs where everyone is lowkey deranged and completely wrong about the way they assume others perceive them. it's just hilarious to me. i picked this up in the library on a whim and honestly, it was just a trash tv palate cleanser.

Super light whodunit similar to The White Lotus. Great beach read
