the first half was SO SLOW and read like so many other stories of troubled women trying to worm their way into the life of a rich, beautiful trophy wife. (seriously WHY are there so many books like this?! why do i keep accidentally reading them?!)

it did pick up the pace when the POV shifted, but only by illuminating even more layers of messed-up-ness in everyone involved. it wasn’t thrilling, just annoying and shallow and disheartening to read, honestly.

not my cup of tea.
