Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House and Janelle Brown for the opportunity to read her latest thriller - oh my, I literally just sat in my chair and read until I finished this one! 5 stars for a twisty tale that will definitely keep you guessing as to who exactly is telling the truth!
The book opens with a body in Lake Tahoe, notorious for not giving up its dead. Then the rest of the book is told in two distinct voices - Nina and Vanessa. Nina is a grifter raised by a mom who was always looking for the next mark. Nina was smart enough to get away for school but when her mom got cancer, she came home to take care of her, meaning she had to resort to making big money fast, with the help of her con man boyfriend, Lachlan. Vanessa is an heiress but who has managed to turn into a famous Instagram influencer, but fame can't hide her broken pieces and the tragedies that have befallen her family. These two very different women come together for one last scam.
I loved the way this book was told - we hear from both Nina and Vanessa, giving their very different interpretations to the same events, while both hiding secrets from even themselves.
