12.18.2016 - Secrets of Southern Girls

Secrets of Southern Girls by Haley Harrigan

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book!

I enjoyed this story of Jules and Reba - two best friends from childhood in Mississippi, although from different circumstances. Julie's parents were killed in an accident in NYC when she was 5 and she was sent to live with an aunt she had never met. However, Reba lived next door and they became fast friends. Jules was portrayed as the "wild child" while Reba was the quiet, pure one. But our perceptions of others can be very different from reality.  Do we ever really know another person?

The story alternates between chapters of Reba's diary that tell the backstory with Jules trying to find out what really happened to Reba. Did Jules kill her as she always believed?

A fast-moving story that kept me intrigued until the end.
