Hello, my friends. Someone emailed me recently wanting to know if I am on social media and yes I am. Link social media buttons are in the right-hand sidebar and you can join me every week for some coffee talk on Youtube. 

Book Description

An intriguing and twisty domestic suspense about loyalty and deceit in a tight-knit Texas community where parents are known to behave badly and people are not always who they appear to be.

Emily, a popular but bookish prep school senior, goes missing after a night out with friends. She was last seen leaving a party with Alex, a football player with a dubious reputation. But no one is talking.

Now three mothers, Catherine, Leslie and Morgan, friends turned frenemies, have their lives turned upside down as they are forced to look to their own children--and each other’s--for answers to questions they don’t want to ask.

Each mother is sure she knows who is responsible, but they all have their own secrets to keep and reputations to protect. And the lies they tell themselves and each other may just have the potential to be lethal in this riveting debut.

My Thoughts

This book caught my attention through the description given. I immediately thought this book is going to be amazing.

I was right.

I was immediately pulled into this story. First, it takes place in a small town much like the one I grew up in so it was relatable to me. then add in characters that I identified with from high school. Throw in a mystery and boom I was unable to put this book down.

I really felt the author did a great job weaving this story. There were lots of twists and turns along the way. It kept me guessing which I loved. 

The characters were complex and the story was one I felt could happen in real-time with how our world is in this moment.

Overall I enjoyed this book and read it in a meter of days I was so caught up in it.
