Soooooo Good!

This was a good one! I was intrigued from the beginning and it kept my attention! I was literally in my car with my mouth open throughout the story! It felt as if it ended too soon as I wanted more!

great friendship story

Like the other review there is no big moment in the book but there is somewhat of a mystery. I thoroughly enjoy books about a group of female friends so for me this was perfect!

I kept listening

Hoping something would make sense I did not give up on this book but it went on and on with odd bits of information popping up here and there. The big surprise at the end was underwhelming. Yawn.

Snoozefest

This is pretty boring. Nothing happens, just middle aged women acting like middle schoolers. The author keeps alluding to a mysterious traumatic past event, but does little to move the plot along towards revealing the secret. It is hard to care about any of it. The main character's needy whining is exhausting. The whole thing is a bit of a mess and a pointless read.

hard to get into bad narration

why does the narrator sound like she is getting throat chopped and abruptly stops the ends of her words? story is so so
