This is an interesting and aptly-named fiction thriller that highlights humor, grief, death, friendship, greed, crime, justice, and secrecy. The book is free on Kindle Unlimited and has a well-written and inciteful OnlineBookClub review. Congrats @sandysperling3 on the BOTD.

Although the kind of crude writing you quoted is not of everyone's liking, I think we need some humor every now and then. Learning not to take everything so seriously is a quality, in my book.
I'm glad you enjoyed the book so much! Your enthusiasm is contagious.

Seems a classic composition of Rachel and Nick Christenson, two women living off their husbands' pensions is an interesting plot with hilarious elements in a surprising twist. Nice review, Prisallen. Thanks.

Great review! I particularly liked your observation that the author's sometimes crude text fit well with the characters' personalities. Off to read the sample on Amazon!

The title of this book draws readers' attention. It is interesting that we get both Vivian and Rachel's points of view as these two are on the opposite sides. Great and informative review, thank you.

This sounds like a funny read with a strong emphasis on character development. How sad about Rachel's husband, but it's nice that she has found a friend in Ruth. I wonder how they will get Rachel out of this mess. Thanks for the wonderful review.

I'm going to pass on this book as it is just not my cup of tea. However, from the few chapters that I read, I'm pleased to admit that the author has a lovely writing style that moves briskly. I'm sure there is a group of readers that will eat this up and I wish the author much luck in getting them to the table. Congratulations on BOTD!

I am curious how the characters differentiate crime from organized crime. This book is a definite read for me. Thank you for your review.

The book cover is certainly eye-catching and the title made me think this might be fun. After reading the first few chapters, I am eager to get to know the characters of Vivien and Ruth. I like the descriptive text, like this one for example, "Ruth sighed, the weight of lonely depression threatening to crush her. Lately it seemed as if the caffeine of her life was gone for good, leaving only pale, perked-out grounds for her to subsist on.” The thought of these two women chopping down a few trees, on uninhabited land, so they could get a better view of the ocean made me smile. Thank you for the excellent review.

You were right about the book's cover. The design/drawing is inviting. Anyway, I liked your review. I usually hate long summary, but yours was good. It didn't have unnecessary details about the story. Good job!
