The book had an interesting plot and was well written. The major flaw was the characters. They were horrible, shallow people that I couldn't care for in the slightest. Except for Matt, there was no one to root for. It was a crazy, wild ride so I did enjoy reading it. It ended well and was tied up nicely.

I enjoyed the book because the story was fast-paced and kept my interest with whatever was going to happen next with women being conniving, catty and jealous and it was fun to read from both Cat & Neena's perspective. However, I didn't care for the characters; they disappointed me in the many bad choices they made and had very little if any likeable qualities. Everything they did was for personal gain or status; they were very calculating players and despite being rich, they were awful, very vain, stereotypical snobs only worried about their appearances, distrustful, backstabbing, jealous, and not kind or seeming to have any redeeming qualities to their character. Except for Matt who is portrayed as a good guy albeit too much of a doormat, and even he at the very end is abusive to his wife (domestic abuse is never okay).

There was also an expression that the author used over and over regarding facial expressions: "pinched" his/her face "her face pinched" "his pinched face" and every time it came up, I just thought it was poorly written; she could have used different ways to describe their faces, but no, they were "pinched"! She used the phrase on most if not all the main characters. I know that may be petty, but it bugged me, and I pinched my face at the thought!
