My Summer Darlings

This book was awful. To think this is the same author who wrote one of my favorite books, The Hunting Wives, is absolutely wild. It doesn't even sound similar at all to the May Cobb I knew. The dialogue and thoughts of the characters was so unrealistic and forced. The characters in the book were all so stupid with the decisions they made, and I was rolling my eyes through the entire book. I saw the ending a mile away, and the grand reveal was just SO ridiculously over the top. I love domestic thrillers about catty & rich women, but this was so jokingly bad I couldn't stand it.

This was a good time and an easy read but definitely not as good as The Hunting Wives by her last year. I think I had just too high of hopes for this one after thoroughly enjoying her previous book.

The characters were so unlikeable, which I don't mind if the plot is good. But these woman just made dumb decisions, obsessive decisions, and threw away things and people who mean the most for a stuck up, snobby guy who was so terrible it was annoying.

Very salacious scenes for the majority of the book which I do not mind at all but I felt like it's what kept the story going and added to the pages.

I guessed one of the plot twists from the beginning which was fine. But there were parts I didn't understand like what he was going to do with Cynthia for their “trip” if he has other plans with someone else. Like if Cynthia didn't see them together, what would've happened?

Overall, it was a popcorn thriller type of time. I didn't want to stop reading it, so it was good but it just didn't live up to The Hunting Wives.
