I knew within a few pages that I didn’t like the book. ( )

I thought it would be three stars and at halfway I was not liking what was going on...almost put it down, then the action happened and I read the whole 2nd half in one sitting! Became a page Turner! ( )

Well, well, well! Nothing like a smash up with Mean Girls and Desperate Housewives! These woman are the quintessential small southern town cougars that you love to hate but can’t help but want to read about! They love shooting guns and like their men young...well except their successful husbands of course!

So sexy and scandalous, and I hated that I loved it so much. Great murder mystery that will keep you on your toes! ( )

This was a face paced story. I consumed it in pretty much one sitting. But be warned, none of these characters are likeable, and much of the plot revolves around pretty controversial and disturbing actions by these ladies. You also need the usual suspension of disbelief that is needed in these types of thrillers (example: how involved and helpful investigators are willing to be with suspects. Lol). I don't mind unlikable characters or the suspension of disbelief, but I did roll my eyes more than once here and there with this one.

The female characters definitely got away with things we wouldn't allow male characters to get away with without feeling disgusted. I also couldn't help but feel like this read like the diary of a bored, white, suburban, toxic wine-mom needing drama in her life because she hasn't ever really experienced any kind of oppression before. So if you can get past reading about unlikable people getting themselves into unlikable situations...then read on. If this type of thing isn't your cup of tea, you may want to pass. I will say it was a compelling and well paced read though, and the author did thier best to tie up loose ends while serving a somewhat believable plot twist. ( )

This book was crazy! SPOILER ALERT. Is Sophie a lesbian? Why does she drink so much? Why doesn’t she realize that when you have a 4 yo, you need to be an adult, it’s not as if she is a teenager and yet she acts like it. Including, but not limited to sex with a woman friend, making out with an 18 yo boy, the aforesaid drinking too much. I just don’t get it. It’s annoying in the same way The Flight Attendant is annoying. Pull up your big girl panties and get on with life already!!!! ( )
