Low Morrison is not your average teen. You could blame her hippie parents or her looming height or her dreary, isolated hometown on an island in the Pacific Northwest. But whatever the reason, Low just doesn’t fit in—and neither does Freya, an ethereal beauty and once-famous social media influencer who now owns the local pottery studio.
After signing up for a class, Low quickly falls under Freya’s spell. And Freya, buoyed by Low’s adoration, is compelled to share her darkest secrets and deepest desires. Finally, both feel a sense of belonging...that is, until Jamie walks through the studio door. Desperate for a baby, she and her husband have moved to the island hoping that the healthy environment will result in a pregnancy. Freya and Jamie become fast friends, as do their husbands, leaving Low alone once again.
Then one night, after a boozy dinner party, Freya suggests swapping partners. It should have been a harmless fling between consenting adults, one night of debauchery that they would put behind them, but instead, it upends their lives. And provides Low the perfect opportunity to unleash her growing resentment.

I buddy read this with my friend Danielle. It was both on our physical TBR so we decided we'd just knock it out. I heard great things about this book but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype for me.
NONE of the characters were likable. The relationship between Low and Freya made me uncomfortable. Freya was just awful I don't know why people were friends with her and honestly a part of this book that I thought was going to be a major plot point was merely a by pas. I just wasn't a fan of the direction this went in. Very toxic friends but not in a fun silly way
This was a dark, wild, twisted roller coaster of a book. I was fascinated by every minute of it.
I probably should learn to quit books that sound stupid or full of characters so unbelievable or crazy that it loses all meaning.
