This book was a lot...The first two thirds were basically a soap opera and I kept thinking about The L Word and Desperate Housewives. Then in the last 30ish pages, there's back to back twists that are comically over the top. It becomes more about shock value than mystery or thrill. I really didn't expect it to get so gory. And there's that frustrating trope where a super convenient, damning piece of evidence appears at just the right time. Lastly, the characters all sounded too similar. Each chapter is from the perspective of a different character but their voices were almost indistinguishable. 

All that being said, the book was an easy, engaging read and I was invested enough to see it through to the end. This was my first Lucinda Berry novel and I'm not sure if I'll be reading any more.
