“This book had me hooked from the first page! I couldn't put it down. I really loved reading main character too. Great read didn't want it to end!” – Reader Review

From bestselling author of Starving comes a domestic suspense thriller. If you are a fan of Liane Moriarty’s novels, you will love the women of Huntwood Valley!

Olivia is tired of being invisible. But could her resentment lead her to murder?

She lives in the perfect suburban town of Huntwood Valley, where wealthy neighbors build their own dream homes and chauffer their kids to private school and elite activities. However, Olivia’s homelife is much bleaker. She is forced to care for her mentally ill mother and abusive father until he drops dead.

Olivia’s life improves when she becomes a mother and meets three diverse women in the same stage of life. Claire is an intense, full-time lawyer with a nanny. Charlotte is a charmed transplant from Richmond married to a distracted husband. And Beth? Well, she’s perfect. Despite her anxious, erratic personality, Olivia develops meaningful friendships. But Beth is special. She has everything. Olivia sets her sites on her new obsession, determined to make herself invaluable. When her persistence turns to meddling, the friendship sours.

Olivia snaps. She unravels quickly, succumbing to familiar volatile tendencies. When the women become fearful of Olivia and her devious behavior, Olivia doesn’t quit. She persists.

How far will Olivia go to achieve the life she desperately wants?

Super good read
Very nicely written book. Captivating and enticing enough to read, couldn’t put it down, had it done in three days. It has you hooked from the first chapter and you don’t wanna stop until you get to the end to find out what happens. Lots of mystery with tons of twists and turns. Definitely makes a great gift idea for mystery lovers. Great price too, a great addition to my new book collection. Highly recommend.

I was really enjoying this book and going through it very fast and then was so annoyed with the ending. It was very anticlimactic and ended ridiculously. I was ready to recommend it to my friends but couldn't after I finished it. The author should have put more effort into her ending.

Loved Christen Bensten's debut into fiction! This was a page turner that kept me up way past my bedtime. I couldn't put it down! I live in an area similar to the fictional Huntwood Valley, so the characters seem realistic and well-developed. And Bensten perfectly captures the vibe of a neighborhood where things aren't as picture-perfect as its inhabitants portray. As an interior design fan, I loved Bensten's descriptions of the beautiful interiors--I could totally imagine what she described. Fun summer reading. Looking forward to reading more of this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful & Well Done!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2022
This book gave me all of "The Simple Favor," Desperate Housewives & Lifetime movie vibes and I was so into it!!

We meet Olivia, who is a new mother living in a wealthy area. She is searching for other new moms who may be able to relate to what she is feeling and going through. She starts a playgroup with three other women, Beth, Charlotte, and Claire. Although they become close, Olivia becomes obsessed with Beth and her "perfect" life.

We know from the beginning that Olivia is not well and likely does something awful, but you won't know just how off the rails until you get there!! I definitely was not expecting the way it went!

I got about halfway through this book and didn't want to stop reading! The short chapters made it an easy read. And although it flips through multiple POVs, it was easy to follow. And I really enjoyed getting everyone's perspective.

The author discusses post-partum symptoms (even some maybe post-partum psychosis) through Olivia and how she reacts and feels. I reaaally appreciated that the writing did not make the ending seem like it was entirely due to post partum, but was actually just a combination of all sorts of things that had happened to Olivia and in her life. I honestly could sympathize with Olivia throughout the book. (Except that ending 😳😳)

I do enjoy some good gossip when it's in a book, and this one brought that to me!! How could it not when we're talking about wealthy women in a playgroup?!

The only thing missing for me, is I would have loved more in the epilogue to see how it all played out over time. There were also a few parts where it jumped ahead between the different perspectives, but that's probably just me being greedy wanting details from everyone. 😉

An enjoyable read full of suspense and I can't wait to read the next in the series!!

Definitely pick this one up if you need a break from romcoms or the normal whodunnit thriller!!

Crazy On You is a perfect summer read: fast-paced, suspenseful, and funny! While reading it, I thought several times, "Yes, exactly!" Bensten nails the highs and lows of making friends as a new mom, while keeping you hooked with plot twists. You won't want to put it down, and her astute snapshots of female friendships will have you cringing, laughing, and nodding all at once. While addressing serious topics, the book keeps it moving...I was sad to finish but excited for the next ones!

I liked this book as it was written in such an interesting way. The characters are all believable and probably could be your neighbors. Anyone who likes suspense minus the serial killer approach will like this book. Can't wit to read another by this author.

She sets up a mommy group and finds three other women who are looking for help and friendship just like her. Of her 3 new friends Olivia likes Beth the most and becomes fixtated on being her best friend....
