5.0

This is the perfect book if you enjoy rich! people! behaving! badly! 

Every chapter in this book switches POV to one of the community members, all of whom are wealthy white New Yorkers summering in their tiny fire island enclave where they lie, cheat, steal, and play tennis. The book starts with someone finding a body and then covers the whole summer leading up to one resident’s untimely death. Perfect beach read.
