The Heiresses by Sara Shepard
3.0

This book is so memorable that I can barely remember what happened in the end. I remember that Poppy died from being pushed out of the Saybrook building, and one of her sisters/cousins/nieces/whatever had an affair with her husband in the weeks after. She then suspected the husband of her murder, and because this is a Sara Shepard novel, it was later revealed that he was totally innocent. I think in the end one of the family's friends who worked at Saybrooks killed her as retribution for her father drowning, and someone was having an affair back in the day, or something ridiculous like that? And there was a stereotypical Amanda Bynes party girl who was the ~*black sheep*~ of the family, but she eventually got on the straight and narrow.

Either way, it was as memorable as what I had for lunch last Tuesday. Don't get me wrong I love me some Sara Shepard trash, but this one was barely a blip on my radar. It suffered from boring one dimensional characters who were impossible to empathise with. I'm not sure exactly what it is that drew us in with the Pretty Little Liars - because they are also poor little rich white girls who are difficult to empathise with - but something was missing here. It lacked that same spark that made us tune in for Revenge and Gossip Girl every week. I can't articulate it and I can't quantify it, but it was missing.

Tl;dr don't bother, get your Sheps trash fix elsewhere.
