Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Viking Penguin | Pamela Dorman Books for gifting me a digital ARC of the new thriller by Andrea Mara. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Dealing with the stress of a newborn baby, Susan mistakenly sends an email venting about another mother in the neighborhood who called her out on the neighborhood group chat. Instead of sending it to her sisters, she sends it neighborhood-wide, and it quickly goes viral. Just like the flap of a butterfly wings, lives are changed forever.
This book will certainly make you doublecheck your texts and emails in the future! I'm a huge fan of messy domestic suspense and this one has it in spades, with just so many secrets and lies. Told from different POVs and timelines, I liked the short chapters that keep me flipping the pages way past when I should have stopped. There are a lot of unlikeable characters here, but many are nonetheless relatable. Susan was the most sympathetic, dealing with postpartum issues, scary thoughts, and even with support, feeling very much alone. Plus, there are the themes of bullying and negative social media, enough to give any parent nightmares. So twisty good - don't miss this one!
