This is my sixth book by this author, she is obviously a favourite of mine and I had really high hopes for this one and it is getting rave reviews everywhere. I did enjoy it for the most part BUT the title is a spoiler for sure. The first two-thirds of the book was gripping and I would have given that five stars, but the last bit was anti-climatic.
The story itself is very immersive and it was a quick read that was easy to follow along. I even found the characters compelling, learning about their history and Josie’s background. I didn’t like the fact that one of them is the typical needy/oppressed housewife who envies and wants another’s life, there are so many books like that out there. I also found that the character of Alix was just too easily manipulated by Josie.
The format was unique as it uses a podcast and a Netflix show as part of the story. And even though it was a huge letdown in the surprise department it was still a fun read. BUT after a very strong start, and me loving the short chapters the ending was kind of ambiguous and left me wanting more.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
