This one had so much potential. I was really excited about the premise and loved the idea of three authors—Emma, Kat, and Cassie—teaming up for a revenge plot against one man. Each POV felt distinct, and I enjoyed how their unique backgrounds and personalities brought something different to the story. The audiobook narration also stood out, with different voice actors for each woman, which helped keep the perspectives clear and engaging.
That said, the book started off strong and then... kind of lost its way. The pacing dragged in the second half, and by the end, the plot didn’t feel like it fully came together. What started as a sharp, fun concept ended up feeling a bit muddled and flat.
If you’re a fan of the authors or like books about writers behaving badly, it might still be worth a try—but for me, it didn’t quite deliver on its promise.
