Review by bridgeyy - Bad Summer People

1.5

IM FREE!!!!!!!!!!! this book was so hard to get through but i’m free😭

so many things i didn’t like

the plot was that everyone was cheating on everyone, basically
it’s absolutely not a thriller. there wasn’t even a proper storyline
the blurb promises “[until] a body is discovered, facedown, off the side of the boardwalk” but said body dies on page 211 (out of 257). the death itself was pretty underwhelming and all it did was start the end of the book.
i liked the reveal that robert killed her in the epilogue but by that point i was so done with the book i couldn’t care less. give me the plot twist earlier!
the. children. just send them away to a camp???? or don’t even talk about them, none of them added anything
if you took a shot every time a new character was introduced/named, you would die of alcohol poisoning. like this woman was full on recycling names… jen, jenny, jeanette, jane, janet, there were even two steves???

sigh
