I really liked this book! It was a unique and refreshing premise and I loved the main character, "Bea". Her upbringing should make her seem like a terrible person, but in this age, she's being very smart and strategic. Very "sprinkle, sprinkle" of her. While I liked the build up, this book sort of fell into that problem where the conflict builds and builds, then the conclusion is kind of just put together. I found it unsatisfying, and it kind of seems like the author is leaving the story open for another book.

THIS PART OF THE REVIEW REVEALS SPOILERS:

I hated the ending of the mother coming back to kill the best friend for her daughter. It just felt out of nowhere and thrown together. I'm glad "Bea" ended up on top, but I guess I was hoping that she would either realize her true self and abandon this whole persona, or save herself. I have a strong suspicion that there will be another book because her little attraction to the one guy who sleeps with all the wives seemed unresolved.
