Fast paced, compelling and super creepy. This book was almost uncomfortable to read, but it was so good. The narrative really fit the story and I think I'll be reading the rest of the series. Both MCs were maddening and super toxic...i honestly think the only character I liked in this book was Karen. It's also a really interesting commentary on privilege and 'keeping up with the Joneses' Joe is completely delusional and deserves a lot more than he got served in this book.
