Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Pairs well with: Pinot Grigio and a New England lobster roll

Essentially an East Coast version of Big Little Lies, I couldn’t put it down. I’ve come to trust most Reese’s Book Club recommendations, but this was one of the best thrillers I’ve read this year. The narrator POV bugged me at first because I wanted to understand every side of the story and all my questions answered right away but in the end the narration ended up being perfect for the unfolding of the story.

As part of my completely normal addictive personality, I needed to look up every detail of the authors life after reading. I was surprised that Liv Constantine is actually a pen name for two sisters who write together. There were so many small details that all perfectly came together in the end I cannot imagine how two people wrote it together.

They’ve written two other books that I’d definitely read in the future.
