This book was a wild, hedonistic ride that explores the dark side of female friendship and the price of wanting to belong. While the plot occasionally prioritizes shock value over logic, it is undeniably entertaining. It's the perfect "beach read" for anyone who loves a thriller with plenty of cocktails and even more secrets.

Ehh. Gave it a 5 for the mystery component. Didn't care for writing style or the characters personalities - didn't want to cheer on any of them. Sexual content wasn't bothersome except for the sex with minors - found that distasteful. Only finished the book for club.
These characters were so cringy.
The main character was incredibly annoying at times, but I’m glad I finished because the twist made it worth the read.
3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.
This was a fun, messy, wild, and twisty read that kept me turning the pages. The drama is addictive and the pacing makes it hard to put down. I found all the main characters highly unlikable… yet somehow still entertaining to watch spiral further into their chaos.
Completely insignificant anecdote: the female main character is mentioned drinking or making a latte 14 times. I understand it’s meant to express habit, routine, and a touch of suburban affluence — but 14 still felt a little excessive for something that plays no real role in the plot.
Overall, if you’re in the mood for a juicy, over-the-top thriller where bad decisions pile up fast, this is a fun pick.
