3.5 rounded up
In a small town outside of Dallas is a group of women who call themselves, The Hunting Wives. The newest member is Sophie. Right of the bat, this novel gives off 'new girl wanting to fit in the popular girl group' vibes, but we aren't in high school-- there is booze, guns, drugs, and infidelity involved and the stakes are high.
I was so stressed reading this novel, but like Sophie, I was drawn to and compelled by Margot. Think of Margot as the queen bee. However, with Sophie, her intrigue grows into something so much deeper and stronger. As Sophie gets closer to these women, she learns how to shoot a shotgun and she learns she's not the only one in the group who is obsessed with Margot.
After the body of a teenage girl who was dating one of The Hunting Wives' sons is found dead in the area where they shoot skeet, the story seriously spirals and I couldn't help but want to shake Sophie and ask her to just stop, think for a second, and get out! For me, personally, I was able to piece the clues together and figure out the responsible parties, but I had a fun time getting to the end.
This is a fast-paced and engaging read. Fans of thrillers and suspense will love it.

*3.75 stars*
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.
The main character was incredibly annoying at times, but I’m glad I finished because the twist made it worth the read.
