Four terrible people making terrible decisions over a terribly tedious dinner. All the conversation is leading up to a terrible decision made to protect some other terrible people who did a terrible thing. 
 The book, however, is not terrible. The book is interesting in that Gone Girl way, where you keep turning pages to see what these horrible people will do to each other next. How they will push buttons, humiliate, infuriate, purposely. 
 I've read another book translated from the Dutch, and I gotta say, they do not seem like a happy people.
