Fielding's earlier novels were much better but I still enjoy reading her because I know there will be something unexpected at the end and she didn't disappoint in that department.The idea of a wife and her two friends abandoning a birthday weekend that they had planned in order to drive the husband's current "fiancé" even though they aren't yet divorced and a sullen, defiant, bratty teenage daughter to a place that they used to go together and loved is just too far out there. You really have to suspend belief to get into this one but you can still enjoy it on some levels as a light, fast read. I was thrilled to run into a new Joy Fielding at my Library and could hardly wait to get home and start devouring it. I was pulled into the story right away, perhaps because I could relate somewhat. The story was a quick, easy read and mostly enjoyable,however, I found it just a little too implausible at times.I won't go into detail because I do not wish to reveal any spoilers, but you avid readers out there will recognize what I am talking about when you reach each and every not so realistic scene. Some things were even a tad over the top. I also felt she left us dangling a little on the character development, only offering partial information on what made these characters behave they way they did. I did still enjoy the book though, but I do so miss the early Joy Fielding.

Couldn't even finish this book, way too gory and twisted for me.
