4.0 out of 5 stars Not for me.
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I am not sure how to rate this. The audio was good and I had no issue with the purchase. But the storyline was terrible. It wasn’t for me. People ask how the spice level was. There wasn’t any; It was a -2 for spice. If you are looking for that I recommend watching the series.
5.0 out of 5 stars better than the show!
Sooo glad I read this way better than the show & those plot twists got me the whole Dang time!
3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not show Good
I enjoyed The Hunting Wives, but I have to admit it didn’t quite live up to the show for me. The book felt a little less action-packed and at times the plot jumped back and forth in a way that made it harder to stay hooked. I also wished there had been more description to really set the mood and atmosphere. The characters don’t get as much background as they do in the show, which made some of their choices feel a little surface-level. I was especially hoping for more from the relationship between Margot and Sophie but in the book it just doesn’t come across as intense or meaningful as it does onscreen. Still, it’s a good read if you’re looking for something dramatic and messy, just know going in that it’s not as detailed or layered as the adaptation.The show changed a lot about the book as well so if you’re expecting what you saw on screen, you’ll just have to pick out the differences.
4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting
Enjoyed it more than the TV Show . It was a fun read for a book club. Curious to see what others think
5.0 out of 5 stars so much better than the series
I really enjoyed this book and I think it was really well written. The characters were not about to let you get to know them well at all which added to the mysterious part of book…. Smut , yes. Mystery, heck yes. Kept me guessing.
3.0 out of 5 stars Very Desperate Housewives
This book starts slowly but eventually develops into a murder investigation, with the expected number of plot twists. However, my reading enjoyment was diminished by the holes in the plot line and the fact that the protagonist was thoroughly unlikeable. In fact, all of the "wives" drink an incredible amount of alcohol, cheat on their spouses, make very poor decisions, and lie throughout the book. Nevertheless, some readers will find the book a satisfactory escape.
2.0 out of 5 stars Excessive drinking, grooming, infidelity, etc.
So this popped up on Netflix and I watched one episode and maybe half of the next before reading the book. The story isn't bad, but you have to get through the first 60% of the book before it really hooks. For a book to be really good, I need to want to root for the main character. I didn't feel that here, because she makes one poor decision after another. There's a lot of grooming of 18yr-old boys by grown women, which is just sick. (I think it's equally sick when the genders are reversed and it's grown men grooming 18-yr-old girls.) The main value in this book is simply it's underscoring of the fact that "bad company corrupts good morals." In other words, drinking excessively doesn't end well. (You could play your own drinking game by taking a drink every time alcohol is mentioned and be trashed at the end of the book.) Infidelity (with the main character cheating on her husband with both a woman and a man on several occasions) will implode your marriage. Compulsive chronic lying doesn't end well, either. I won't be watching the rest of the Netflix version and I likely won't read anything else by this author.
4.0 out of 5 stars Slow to start
This book is very good but kind of slow to start. If you have seen the show it is not nearly as dramatic but I think I like the ending of the book better than the shows ending.
Liebs

Gripping
I'm not usually into the chatty, rich-bitch Liane Moriarty style of writing as I hate being told what's happening and prefer to be shown the seeds to watch the red herring stalks grow and be trusted to be able to work things out for myself but this novel is the exception. It's catty, well played, well-written, absorbing and though I knew something awful was going to happen I had no idea what or to whom. And though I guessed early on who was responsible, I was pleasantly surprised by the twist at the end. Overall, this was a gripping novel that held my attention from beginning to end and I was glad to be given some of the info from Sophie, who carried the book well. This is definitely up there as one of my most enjoyed reads of the year and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good female led psychological thriller.
Confused…?
Now I know a lot of people don’t like this book, and I can see why you might not.But, for whatever reason, this book actually kept me so hooked. I couldn’t put it down, I couldn’t stop reading.I was and still am not okay with some of the sub plots in this book. Which is why it’s a 3.75 ⭐️ read for me.
My God!!!
Finished it in a day, was so fun and thrilling! Quick paced, and keeps you intrigued until the end! Loved it
