A pretty good one! Another audiobook for me. All the different characters and points of view were a little confusing at first, but I was into it by the end and enjoyed most of the twists and turns. A fun listen!

I had to switch to audiobook to finish this. There was just so much going on and so many different stories and they somehow all connected but spanning over years. There was too much unnecessary plot points I felt like just to extend the story and make it more suspenseful, but that really made it more confusing and kind of like a ramble.

I really liked this read. The book club was super fun, and every time I thought I had something figured out, I was wrong. But, the first-person journal entries felt less like hinting toward something and more like throwing us off the tracks. I always felt like I was missing a detail I should’ve already known

Book of the Month read: There were a lot of characters to keep track of at first, but I did enjoy the read. It touched on many interesting topics of conversation. Great for a book club.

Overall okay book. The story had several families and at times I struggled to keep up with who was who. I almost felt like I needed to take notes and honestly who wants to do that for fiction. In the end the story line took a relatively fast twist and finally ended.

There's a mystery in the neighborhood and it involves the members of the book club. Some really funny moments and a bit of a twist at the end.

I went into this book with hopes of a mystery or thriller I was disappointed. The story dragged for most of the book. It was mostly mom drama than thriller. While, I appreciated the book club aspect it felt so bland and forced.
