It wasn't gripping at all to me as the trailer states.
Too many characters in long long drawn out psychological angst therapy. The location was well done but still not at all unique. The various mores and ethnic group mixes in this wealthy ambiance started ok. The narrator to me was arrogant and unreliable at best. Not a fun read. The sloppiness toward continuity got so bad in the middle 100 pages that you could skip them and still basically have the very same book.
Not a fan of this writing style even more than the uneven plot progression. Nothing evidential happens until the final 15 pages. Worst pace to conclusion that I have come across this year. Only read this if you are a conceited mentally altered popular best seller writer or would love to sit and moan with him for his unresolved childhood. This was a read for a old workmate (an evaluation toward a list she compiles) and that's the only reason I slogged all the way.

"Love the atmospheric Aukland "cul de sac" and New Zealand mix vibe but am sick to death of this narrator. Arrogant twerp. I might come back to this if nothing else is intriguing. But I might not. VERY slow and the tension is mainly duplicity based."

Sorry, this didn't work for you either. After a while, I didn't care who is who, way too many. Lackluster. 😏

Exactly. I didn't care what happened to his Mother either. And such potential could have been done too with all those differing ages, cultural backgrounds etc. Instead his Mother was parsed, described over and over and over. Lackluster in the crowd of the Cul de Sac so much that you actually forgot many of them by the end.
