This was so real housewives. 

Thoroughly entertaining, but too a very sinister turn towards the end. Kudos to the audiobook narrators, who made this even more enjoyable.

This only solidified the fact that Holly Jackson is physically incapable of writing a bad book. I have never been so stressed as I was when I was reading Rachel Price.

I don't care what anyone has to say, I love this book beyond words. I relate to Autumn HARD, and I don't think I story has brought me to tears like this one did.
