This book was enjoyable enough.
Great one-liners. Great tension.
An extremely good character study of the various people who summer in the Hamptons and the ppl who are desperate to be there.

It's one of those books where nothing is happening but things are moving forward.

I really like an unreliable deeply flawed female protagonist but this one wasn't giving as the kids say... 
I will literally rewriting plot points in my head.
