4.0
Rachel Hawkins is a mixed bag for me (loved The Wife Upstairs, did not like The Ex Hex), and this book is too. However, I overall really liked it and think it would make an excellent book club pick because there is so much to discuss and interpret.
I've never said this about a book before, but I wish it were 100 pages longer. I really liked the setting and characters, especially the frenemy narrative and the characters' relationships to fame and power. It's a short and fast book, and could have been a lot more atmospheric and intense with different pacing.
