Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest book by May Cobb. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Nellie Anderson is desperate to be the Queen Bee of her high school crowd, but there is a darkness in her that keeps people away. Her mother, Charleigh, does everything she can to smooth the waters for Nellie, after a tough childhood. But a new family moves into town, trad wife, woodworker dad, and three kids, including Jane, who Nellie hates on sight. Who will be left when all the dust settles?
May Cobb has done it again – this was so much juicy fun! Set in Texas in the 1980s, it reminded me of sitting at home, glued to the tv, watching Dallas in all its rich, over the top, conniving, fun. Plus, there’s some Little House on the Prairie vibes too – how’s that for a fun combination? I loved the short, addicting chapters, from all different POVs, with hints that someone is going to end up dead in between. And just like in Dallas where we had to wait to see who shot JR, Cobb has left us with a cliffhanger awaiting a sequel. Hurry please – I must know what happens next!
