Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Mina Hardy - 4.5 stars!
When Jewelann attends her class reunion, she wants only to make her crush, Christian Campbell, realize what he lost. She ends up in a hotel room with him and two of her sort-of friends from school, hoping to hurt Christian like he was hurt. Shortly afterwards, Christian shows up in her life again - this time, invited to live in their carriage house by her husband, Ken. Jewelann is struggling to keep all her secrets away from her husband and son, only to find everyone is keeping secrets.
While parts of this were over the top, it was a very entertaining ride along the way, especially all those twists! I thought it was well-written and suspenseful and the story kept me turning the pages as quickly as possible to see how it would all end up. The half star is because the story was set in Dayton, Ohio, near where I grew up - it was fun to see familiar places show up here!
