Sophie Winston is hosting Thanksgiving for her family and facing off against her high school rival, domestic diva Natasha Smith, in a stuffing contest. The last thing she needs is to find a dead body while out grocery shopping. Worse yet, the police think she is a suspect when they find her picture in the dead man’s car. What is happening?

I’ve heard lots of good about this series, and it is obviously well deserved. The large cast of characters are so well developed I never had a hard time keeping them straight. The plot starts out strongly, but it does get bogged down in the middle before reaching a wonderful climax. I’m certainly curious to see where Sophie goes from here.

If your a fan of snatch or lockstock then this is the movie for you.
Full of great actors and fantastic witty dialogue.
I was entirely confused by the football stadium scene where I was convinced Jack Whitehall was sitting in front of Dry eyes and Matthew. There was also a goof where the frozen dead body repeatedly blinked and went from staring wide eyed to having his eyes closed.
"The pig scene" has officially been overused in the film/TV industry but this movie had me in a pleasant mix of horror and hysterics regardless.
Rosalind is such a badass character I was disappointed by her lack of screen time though.
I really recommend going to see this movie, preferably in the cinema. Great movie, great script, great cast. Dam, my brain is too fried this evening to think of a better word than "great" haha

I'll be honest here. The surprise of Raeanne and Kaeleigh being the same person, as in one body with two personalities, was blown for me before I even began reading... Considering I was deliberately looking for books including multiple/split personalities. Perhaps that has a huge effect on how I felt about the book in general, but I suppose I'll never really know. I was pretty bored throughout a majority of the story. I read some reviews that said this was Ellen's most twisted and disturbing book yet, but I guess I'm made of much tougher stuff, because it really didn't bother me. I'm not saying what happened to Kaeleigh is okay, in any way, I'm just saying my reaction wasn't nearly as strong as some others. I felt like there wasn't much in the way of character development, though Ellen made it very easy to despise the father and mother.
