My Review
Talk about unexpected. This novel had my eyebrows in my hair, my mouth catching flies and me thinking “wait, what” during more than one chapter. The women of Buckhead are all about themselves, with a dabble of friendship thrown in. We get a lot of commentary from Jenny, who owns the salon Glow – highly exclusive and allows her to get all the client’s secrets and drama while working on them. And there is no shortage of drama. Olivia was hard to follow – some of comments and POV were just so over the top I couldn’t really follow along. The other women were interesting to follow – Shannon with her divorce, Crystal marrying Shannon’s ex-husband, Karen and her own marriage struggles – and they kept me invested in the storyline. What I thought was going to be a simple drama turned into a twisty thriller filled with scandal, toxic energy and plenty of unexpected scenes. If you can get past some of Olivia’s dialogue and stick with it to the end, I think it’s worth it!
