One of Us Is Dead

This book read like “Big Little Lies” fan fiction. One adult woman publicly refers to someone as her BFF while another tries to initiate a high-five after making generic complaints about men. There is not a single redeeming or interesting character in the entire narrative. How did I finish this? Why did I finish this?

Very REAL Housewives meets Desperate Housewives. The twist was one I expected in order to receive a “happy ending”, but some storylines throughout seemed kind of passed over. I needed more background. I feel that writing it in 5 different perspectives caused there to be a lot of missed interactions between some other characters, but it was was quick read and made me glad I wasn’t living in Buckhead with these women lol. Very entertaining.

Once I got into it, I enjoyed it. But I must admit, it felt a bit too over-the-top, like a season of Desperate Housewives (emphasis on the desperate part). It seemed a bit unrealistic that so many women spent so much money on drama with their “friends” at a salon. I mean, I’ve never had that kind of disposable income, so what do I know, right? Haha! I did enjoy the character development, but I also felt like some details got lost in the translation from TOO many perspectives. Overall, I thought it was a fun read and would rate it 7 out of 10.

Very Real-Housewives-ish... but with deadly consequences. I liked this slightly more than Home Is Where The Bodies Are, but ultimately it just wasn't for me. I don't think I'm a fan of this author.

10 out of 10
