Sophie becomes obsessed with Margo. She stalks on Facebook and does whatever she can to get close to her. She weasels her way into Margo’s friend group, The Hunting Wives, and drama ensues. 

The main characters in this book are not likable at all. Sophie’s husband is a good guy, but everyone else is awful and annoying. I literally did not care what happened to anyone. 

Also, the mystery part of this book didn’t start until like 2/3 through the book. The whole beginning is just Sophie obsessing over Margo and making stupid, horrible decisions.  

I powered through because I heard people say good things and I hate not finishing. The end wasn’t a shock to me but it did raise my rating a bit. Otherwise I’d have rated it even lower.
