This book just got too uncomfortable for me to finish.
The story was not progressing and the housewives were just getting worse and worse (drinking, adultery, underage sexual activity). The main character seems to be set on ruining her own perfectly pleasant life all because her mom, who had a job as a traveling nurse, gave her a transient childhood.

If you ever wanted to fit in with a crowd of girls who you think is amazing… this is the book to deter you. This was an adult version of Mean Girls and boy did it deliver. You have this poor girl bored with her dream like lured into an exclusive secret group of wives and she was not ready for the ride they took her on. Throughout the entire book I was yelling at poor Sophie to just stop and of course she didn’t listen. You’re left with multiple questions at the end and a twist that I can honestly say I didn’t see coming. This book is definitely one for us Suspense girlies.
I actually had a fun time reading this book, but there are some major flaws that cause me to knock off a couple stars.
For starters, you have to get past the ick factor. I won't give away any spoilers, but you might want to look into them if you don't have a high tolerance for inappropriate relationships.
Secondly, the main character is dumb as a box of rocks and could have figured out the entire situation if she would have just used her brain for 3 minutes. I was almost literally yelling at her through parts of the book.
Lastly, I'm getting very tired of the housewife who drinks too much trope. It's seriously exhausting and not interesting. An unreliable narrator due to alcohol does not automatically make a thriller.
Oh, and some of the writing is absolutely abysmal.
