28 pages in and the story just wasn’t going anywhere and sun plots were just incredibly confusing

I liked it but I didn’t love it. This book depicts what I would imagine it’s like on the real housewives of whatever city they are in. There was a lot of women tearing each other down and forming fake relate for the sake of ratings or to keep their status on the show within the book. The drama was produced in areas for ratings on the show.
It turned into a who dun it and that storyline was not very surprising to me. There was a lot of characters to keep up with and the chapters were way too long for me. I ended up getting into some of the drama like I do with a dramatic tv show

4 1/2 stars. It’s a little hard to get into initially, but after figuring out who’s who, it’s a fun and twisty read. I really enjoyed it!

I have mixed reviews on this book. Every character is morally complex and interesting, dodging between likable and not likable plus the plot twists were very unexpected! The first 250 pages of this book dragged though. All in all, not the best but not the worst book.

A good ride with Knoll's signature depth interwoven, but not as satisfying as her other reads. Bright Young Women has proven to be her best work, and I can't wait to read what she writes next!

As someone who enjoys reality TV like the Housewives, Vanderpump Rules and has watched so many seasons it was interesting to see how the characters interacted when the camera were off and on.
I think if you don’t enjoy reality TV this book could be hard to get into because hays the main plot focus.
This book is heavily driven by the characters and what’s going on in each of their lives. Overall I enjoyed getting to know each of them women and what they would do to stay on the show. I will say some parts felt a bit repetitive and I really wanted to get to the mystery and what happened part. I will say I didn’t expect the who done it which is a big thing for me when it comes to mystery’s like this.

WOW! I did not love Luckiest Girl Alive, but holy SHIT was this a good book. Great pacing, literal twists til the last page (I thought that was a dumb cliche, but it turns out it’s true). Sophomore slump, this most certainly is not.
