I love a solid thriller and many of you raved about this book. I got it on my Libby app through my local library!!
Amy is living her best life in suburbia. She has her best friend Charlotte, and other friends in her neighborhood. This neighborhood is pretty chummy with each other; everyone knows everybody and they even have a book club with the women. One day, a woman who is air bnbing a home in their neighborhood decides to drop in to the book club…
…the woman straight up overtakes the whole thing. She ends up playing the game, Never Have I Ever where they all try to top each other with the most outlandish things they’ve done. Amy gets uneasy with her and makes it her mission to find out what is going on.
Oh, hang on a moment…I almost forgot…Amy killed someone. Did your jaw just drop? Did I throw you for a loop? Oh yes, it’s not a secret, we’re told this in the beginning…she was young and drunk. Could Amy’s murder and this new neighbor be related? The book does do flashbacks to that night and intertwines it with the present.
This book had a lot of crazy twists. It also had its moment that was a little disturbing. It kinda came out of nowhere. It was shocking. It all happens so fast and just bam, in your face. Lovely, lovely, sneaky, disturbing twist!
4 star read! You can’t go wrong picking this book up. I think I’m starting to become jaded with all these thrillers because I wasn’t 100% a fan of the end…and for no reason other than, ugh, a secret was kept. Haha…I mean, ok, one one hand I’m happy with how it ended, but on the other I’m like OH COME ON!!!! I suppose if it was written with a secret coming out I’d probably be like, now why did that have to happen, come on. Haha…I suppose I can’t win with this one…still a great read nonetheless!!!!
