If "Now you ain't hear this from me..." was a book. If a telenovela was set in Sri Lanka. I'm sure they have a word for it. As always, rich people are evil.

This was weird, full of unlikable rich characters and a wild ass ride!
This features DV, suggestions of IPV, self harm and other dark subject matters.

Read if: you want a whodunit with multiple povs, interested in Sri Lankan culture/representation, like unreliable/unlikable main characters, want a lighter mystery that doesn’t go too deep into some heavier themes, want to explore the complexities of female friendship.  

Don’t Read If: you want a fast paced story(this is more of a slow burn), you easily get confused with a large cast of characters, if you’re sensitive to self harm, if you find most mysteries predictable.

Really disappointing. Empty-headed completely unklikeaboe characters, and instead of a mystery it was more of a bait-and-switch by the author. Also, TONS of tw… just don’t expect an enjoyable mystery from this one.
