A Palm Beach aside by author Susannah Marren is a fun read. Big little lies slash suspense. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a light hearted read.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an arc copy of The Palm Beach Wife in exchange for an honest review.

It's hard when I don't like a book and am obligated to leave a review (in this case receiving an ARC in exchange for a review) b/c who am I to criticize the hard work an author has put into their novel? Unfortunately I didn't connect with this book at all. I found it boring. It's full of lists of expensive items -- "On the Intracoastal, mini whitecaps become waves as a Viking 60, a Fleming 65, and a Nordic Tugs 44 cruise along." I wasn't interested in any of the characters either.

I guess I was hoping for more of a Crazy Rich Asians feel. Another book about obscene wealth but with fascinating characters.

Love the cover though.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.
