Friends Lauren, Kelsey, and May call themselves the Canceled Crew. Each has been vilified in the media, Lauren, who\u2019s Black, because it\u2019s assumed that she slept her way to her job as director of the Houston Symphony; May, who\u2019s Chinese American, for a terrible incident on a subway platform that was filmed and went viral; and Kelsey, who\u2019s white and rich, for being suspected of killing her husband. The women are now on a girl\u2019s weekend in the Hamptons, trying to put it all behind them and let their hair down a bit, but the note of the book\u2019s title throws them back into chaos. It\u2019s a prank that isn\u2019t so funny after the recipient goes missing and the three women are firmly back in the spotlight, a situation that widens every crack in their relationship with one another and their partners and families. Burke makes every character hyper real here, portraying the effects of privilege, thoughtlessness, and poor decisions with deft precision. The strong ties we feel to old friends, no matter current circumstances, are also shown in sharp relief. Add to this a page-turning whodunit element and it all adds up to a cracking read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
