Publisher's summary

For two old friends with so much to hide, playing catch-up is a dangerous game in a propulsive novel of suspense by the author of Mother of All Secrets.

Writer Carrie Colts hopes a move to Montauk will be a rejuvenating change of pace for her family. The last thing she expects to see is her former college roommate on her doorstep. Newly widowed, and with a daughter of her own, Maya would love to reconnect. As a gesture to an old friend in mourning, Carrie extends an invitation to stay. Just for a few days. After all, there are reasons that Carrie and Maya are estranged.

Carrie soon regrets her impulsive offer. Someone has taken a pair of scissors to her college yearbook. Her herb garden is destroyed. She’s starting to receive sinister texts. And Maya is making herself a little too much at home. What does Maya really want? What is she hiding? Carrie’s afraid to ask. Because Maya knows all her secrets, and exposing them comes with a price Carrie can’t afford to pay.

You think you know but you don’t

Great story. Love the plots twists. Narration was perfect. I was looking for books similar to Frieda McFadden since I’ve read them all, and this author is just what I was looking for!

Secrets and Lies

This book captivated me from the beginning. I was thoroughly engaged in this story of Carrie and Maya. There was just so many questions- why were they no longer friends? Was someone a fake friend? Can we trust Maya? The book takes you through all these emotions and twists. I was so engaged in the story it was a quick easy fun read for me. It was told in dual timelines in present time in Montauk and then in the past during college with Maya and Carrie. There are so many secrets and lies told throughout the book left me guessing and questioning everything.

I thought I had it figured out from early on, but wanted to hang in there to see how it went down. Boy was I wrong!!

Whoa! I did not see that coming!

The reveal at the end was a shocker!
Fast paced, and twists at the end that was totally unexpected. Loved it!

Thoroughly enjoyed!!

This book made me FEEL, all the feels. Really enjoyed the character progression. Loved the story and twists. It’s a bit of a slow burn but so worth it at the end.

Riveting

This was a well constructed story of long held secrets in a few different ways, it was a little annoying the husband was clueless throughout the story I wish he had been more involved other than him flying off the handle once, kinda unrealistic but I still loved this book! Highly recommend!

Disappointing ending

It was a great book until the end… maybe there’s something wrong with me, but the “fairy tale” ending wasn’t it

Friends...

This is a well-written book. Suspenseful, heartwarming and realistic. We all have secrets shared with our best friend that we would never want anyone else to know...and we all keep secrets from our friends...

Most Ridiculous Book Ever

This book is so bad that I have no words. It is the most boring book I have ever listened to. It was so bad that I could not complete the book. There is no plot. It is all inner dialogue of a completely ridiculous character who is not believable in any way. I very rarely write reviews, but this is such a waste of time that I simply had to.
