My Thoughts:

“There’s also a stat I’ve thought about a lot lately: that the average person will walk past sixteen killers in the person’s lifetime.

I watch as a woman moves down the subway aisle.

I keep staring at her as she passes my seat. I wonder if she will walk past fifteen others during her lifetime.”

It took a while to get all the characters straight but once I did I was definitely entertained. 

Shay was an interesting character, she was lonely and living a pretty ordinary life. She witnesses a horrible subway accident and from that point, her life is completely changed. She was manipulated and abused by her so-called friends but she didn’t see it because she was so grateful to have any friends at all.

The sisters were these high powered, well-dressed women who seemed to have it all and sure made it so simple to deceive Shay. The mystery itself was parsed out very very slowly and there was quite a bit of jumping around from past to present. I thought the data collection part was fascinating and I felt sympathy toward Shay.

It kept my interest because I really wanted to see how far the sisters would go in their revenge plans. I wanted to see if Shay would figure them out.

This felt like Oceans 8 with the six women and their special “club” and a little bit like an old Sydney Sheldon book “If Tomorrow Comes” where she must get revenge on every man that ever wronged her.
