Set on a small island in the Pacific Northwest, two lonely women, a middle aged woman who is desperate for a child (Jamie) and a high school senior (Low) who is a bit of an outcast, fall under the spell of a beautiful social media influencer, Freya, who isn't what she seems on the surface.
This story was kind of hard to like because all the characters had such emotional issues they were hard to know, bond with and truly understand. There was just too much going on and not enough really getting to know the why's. Freya is the main character and you never really get to know her, only tidbits that she is so fun, so pretty, so loved but should be hated by all but she wasn't " I miss her, I love her, I owe her, I believe her. I want to be her BBF, she loves me, she hates me " blah, blah and blah !!!. I think everyone gets a point of view except for Freya and she needed to be understood the most. Freya seems to enjoy the competition between her admirers and leverages her power to get them to succumb to her whims. It certainly seems that Freya’s ability to attract followers is endless. Max, Freya’s former-athlete husband, who is recovering from a career-ending scandal seems subordinated to his wife. Brian, Jamie’s husband whose own artistic efforts have stagnated also succumbs easily to Freya’s extraordinary charms. As testament to her control over the other characters, Freya easily orchestrates a partner swap one fateful night with Jamie and Brian.
