I really enjoyed this book! The writing was great and I liked that we got POVs from each of the women involved. The short chapters made it easy to read and I had a hard time putting it down because I was getting sucked into the story. I love domestic stories - I loved learning about each character, their own personal dramas and how they linked together. Rebecca was my favourite as she was the only one I felt real sympathy for. I didn’t trust Whitney or Blair and their behaviour actually shocked me! The last line was really satisfying but I felt let down by the ending. It was quite a slow paced book that dragged a little and the ending fell flat for me. At times it was repetitive too. Overall it was a pretty wild book that I liked a lot!
