Many thanks to Random House Ballantine Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Andrea Bartz - 4 stars!
Kelly is feeling trapped - it's during the pandemic and she uprooted her life to move from Chicago to Philadelphia with her fiancé, Mike. She has no friends there, no job, and now there's trouble between her and Mike. She reconnects with a high school acquaintance, Sabrina, over social media. Sabrina is now a successful romance author and her husband, Nathan, is a high-powered executive with the government. Sabrina invites Kelly to come to stay in their gated mansion in Virginia for a break. But Kelly wasn't prepared for the threesome relationship that unfolded, especially when she discovers that their last partner is now missing.
I'm a big fan of Andrea Bartz's thrillers but don't go into it expecting a constant thrill ride. This is mostly a slow burn, relationship/character heavy book, with drips of mystery folded in. I wasn't completely enamored with the throuple relationship aspect, but I loved the way I couldn't trust anyone in this book and the end twist was a complete surprise. Bartz's writing steals the show as always and I enjoyed this one!
