For some reason it took a couple of days to read the first few pages, and I thought I might struggle to finish it, but then I read the rest in a couple of sittings.

A couple of things I loved about this is there’s only six main characters, made up of three couples. The chapters are devoted to the women of the couples, and switches between them. There’s a suspicious death at the beginning and then the time frame shifts to the weeks leading up to it. There are enough flashbacks to give more backstory to the characters but not so much that it slows down the story. There’s a lot of twists and turns throughout and you really are left waiting until the last few pages to know what happened.

I really enjoyed that social media played a part of it and having known some mummy bloggers quite a few years ago I found some of this to be very accurate, the power dynamics, cliques, bullying, faked images of a perfect life and affairs.

I would 100% recommend this book and I think it’s perfect book club material and will get everyone glancing at their friend’s over tops of the pages wondering what’s going on behind closed doors…
