I loved not liking these characters. 😁 Most of them behave badly, and all of them have secrets. It's not as much a thriller as it is a suspenseful story about the desperate summer lives of these rich families. Someone died at the very start of the book, and by 40%, I had almost forgotten the death had happened. It will get back to it in the end. Who has died and how they died is a story in itself.
