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.

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.

Had to read the book since the show was coming out and there was a lot of buzz. I almost stopped reading several times. Too much porn for me. I especially disliked the moms with the young football players, as I’m a mom of young adults. Gave me the ick, I won’t watch the show. I love a good murder mystery so I finished the book eventually but not worth the read imo
