OK so, this starts out very cliche and slightly annoying for a couple of reasons - 1) there are frustrating editing issues, such as a sentence explaining how the corpse's eyes were open wide and the very next sentence says her wet hair is completely covering her eyes ... so how can they see they are open then? 2) I have legit no idea what any of the characters look like 99% of the time. No descriptions of anything. They all blend together a long time. 3) Someone tell this author that 'ohmigod' is not a word and to stop using it every five pages.
Other than those complaints, well, it was a quick read and the mystery aspect did keep me moving through it. Once I hit the 50% mark it picked up even more, and the twists were a few I didn't expect. I liked where this went and do recommend it for people who don't get caught up by editing errors or lack of knowing what anyone looks like in the story.

This one I had to process more. There were at least 4 twists in this book. A friend Is found in pool, dead, and we go through 3 set of POVs to lead us up to that point. Just crazy

It started off like a fast-paced domestic thriller, but then it devolved into a drama centered story. I knew who the killer was from the first time the story was from her pov. The end just had so much shock-value and left a lot of loose ends. Also it just didn't make sense as to why the characters did certain things.

Meh. A bunch of rich older moms with secrets. A lot of it could have been skipped over or left out. Not impressed

I enjoyed this book. It wasn’t a “can’t put down” type book but it was a good read. The ending had a lot of stuff just thrown in fast but was still good!
