Are you looking for a great thriller that you CAN’T put down?!? This is going to be the one to read this summer!

What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn’t matter?

Lucy & Savvy became best friends after coming back to their home town a few years after high school. They weren’t friends in high school but grew close after a night of hanging out. But then Savvy is murdered and Lucy is found wandering a backroad with Savvy’s blood on her clothes and no memory of what happened.

True Crime Podcaster, Ben Owens, comes to town to help put the pieces together about what happened. As he digs into the case he finds that Lucy’s marriage had some secrets that she didn’t want people to know about. He also digs up secrets about her parent’s marriage, and well….he pretty much digs up LOTS of juicy secrets. So what started out as Lucy being the only suspect, turns into a wide pool of possible suspects.

We get clips of what Lucy & Savvy’s relationship was like. We also get to find out more about her history with her ex-husband. But I really liked hearing about her relationship with her Grandma, Beverly. She was really close to her and she would not have made a trip back to town to revisit old memories if not for her Grandma’s guilting her to come to her bday party.

I loved how the plot all came together in this one. The further I read, the more the anticipation and intensity ratcheted up. The characters were well written and I just couldn’t put this one down. I didn’t guess the ending of this one until I was in it. This one was well written and executed. This one is going to be worth all the hype!

Thank you to NetGalley and Celadon Books for the opportunity to get an ARC for this exciting novel!
