This was a fun and fast summer read. Set in an affluent community in Florida, this book has just enough drama and mystery to keep things interesting. It’s a little predictable at times, but some of my predictions never came to fruition. A few things in the story didn’t make sense to me, but that’s didn’t interfere with my enjoyment of the book.

Solid 3.5 stars, rounded up.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bantam for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

3.0

While it was a decent storyline, I just found all of the characters whiny and annoying. It also dragged a lot, making what was supposed to be a quick and easy read into a laborious task.

I guess I just don’t care to read about rich people complaining about all of their problems but hey, maybe the entire point of the book just flew right over my head.
