Thank you to Book Club Favorites at Simon & Schuster for the free copy for review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
Intense. Captivating. Really kept me guessing. James' death is ruled an accident, but Emma suspects otherwise. And she is right.
At some point, all the main characters had a motive for wanting James dead. And I found myself thinking âgood for them, he needs to be gone.â From the outside, Emma and James' marriage seemed perfect. But Emma and her children knew better. How do you grieve a man that the world seems to think was a great guy but you knew otherwise?
Everyone is trying to figure out what led up to the accident that took James' life. There are flashbacks throughout the book building up to the day of the accident. There are a lot of secrets that will be revealed.
The pace was perfect. Just as I thought I was close to figuring out it out, another crumb was dropped causing me to then have to reevaluate it. Lots of surprises scattered throughout.
I really liked the characters. There's Emma and her best friends Gray and Lizzie who are keeping secrets from Emma and are always fighting for her friendship. Lizzie's daughter Willow hangs around with Emma's children Hunter and Kelsey. Emma's friend Gray was probably my favorite. She was a no-nonsense person and did what had to be done. And finally, there is Gray's husband Darnell, who is also James' business partner.
As much as I loved the book, I wasn't sure about that last chapter. Was it really necessary? This is a who-done-it mystery/thriller and family drama all rolled into one. I highly recommend it!
