3.5

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.
