Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Rebecca Drake for the opportunity to read and review her latest work - a great read!
This is the story of 4 friends, who meet at their children's school in an idyllic suburb of Pittsburgh. Julie, a real estate agent, has been friends the longest with Sarah, a lawyer who is now a stay at home mom. Allison, who works at home in IT, is a bit unsure of herself and tries hard to fit in the group. Heather, the ex-model who is married to a plastic surgeon, appears to have it all.
These friends bond over coffee and their children until one day Allison notices bruises on Heather and shares her fear that Heather is being abused with the other 2 friends. When things escalate, they finally confront Heather with their suspicions. She refuses to leave her marriage.
The phone call they all dread comes late one night and all the friends rush to Heather's aid. But just how far will these friends go to help each other? And what secrets are they keeping from each other?
A great, twisty tale that had me glued to the pages. My only issue was that I had a bit of a hard time keeping track of which character's point of view I was reading. The husbands and kids were minor players in this book and I kept having to flip back to the chapter heading to see which friend's voice was featured. But that doesn't take away from the story - highly recommended!
