Hmmm……. 
This book was suggested by book club and voted thriller/crime of the month… 
I don’t think it was much a thriller, if anything it has more sex and scandals going on. Which isn’t an issue, but I didn’t expect it. It was like a Bridgeton vibe but not as good. It was good but probably wouldn’t read this book again..

While I feel for the circumstances of the main female characters and how sucky their world was, I still didn't care for them or found that the story was written well etc. just not a great story stylistically
