I have seen the hype for this book since it came out and after reading it I totally agree! This book was fabulous! I stayed up later than I should finishing this book and might fail a huge test Friday, but it was so good! I definitely recommend this book if you are able to read semi-horror/thriller books.
The characters are fabulous! The Book Club women are spectacular, they come together as a group but are all still individuals and I love it. The main character who the book follows is Patricia and that woman is so smart and everyone just brushed her to the side. All the wives were housewives and I loved how the author played with stereotypes, the wives are definitely smarter than their husbands. The husbands are a mixture of good and bad ideals, mostly bad and I wanted to punch most of them at one point or another. If you read this book and do not get frustrated by the husbands, then you need to get your priorities checked. Now the newcomer starts out as an angel and then he shows his devil side, which was so interesting to see! The children are entertaining because you could see how they have the child/teenage angst.
The plot was fabulous! I loved how the story was constructed. The story did take place over a number of years which I found semi-frustrating but a lot of things happened so there needed to be a progression of years to make it realistic.
I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars because it was so entertaining and I absolutely loved it! The only issue I have is with some of the characters (which the author wrote so well) and how they had to stick with their morals. There is one death that I definitely think should have been someone else. I highly recommend this book!
