bookclubbitches 's review for:

The Hunting Wives by May Cobb
1.0

LOL WOW I HATED THAT!

I have been seeing this one on instagram a lot lately, since it was a BOTM pick. I pre-ordered the audiobook on audible, because I was SO excited for this. However......this book was a huge let down. I hated it. This book is full of unlikable characters. And I mean literally every single character is a piece of shit one way or another. Sophie was incredibly naive, a terrible mother and wife, and a bad friend. She was such a follower and didn't have a mind of her own. Margot was a manipulative mean girl...who was a fully grown adult? Like why? Grow up! The affairs with a teenagers and gaslighting/manipulating them was frankly just gross, not hot at all. Yuck. The longer I go on writing this review, the more disgusted I become.

The author's use of bisexuality as a ploy was frankly offensive. Bisexuality is NOT a whim, it is NOT a phase and it NOT a plot device for your shitty book. I will not be recommending this book to anyone I know.
