In "Every Last Secret" by A.R Torre, we switch between the pov of two successful women, Cat and Neena. After Neena secures a job at the company Cat's husband owns and moves into the house directly next door to the couple, Neena's less than innocent motives become a threat to Cat's perfect life. In a story filled with lust, lies, and jealousy, we are left pondering what we would do if we found ourselves in similar circumstances.
I loved the use of dual pov and think that Torre did an amazing job creating two distinct main characters that readers can both relate to and despise at certain moments throughout the story. I often found myself relating to Cat's inner conflicts and struggles with jealousy and as such, she has 100% become one of my favorite main characters to date. The plot was fast-paced, entertaining, and kept me interested the entire time. The ending twist was also shocking and wasn't completely far-fetched or predictable like the endings in a lot of thrillers.
Overall I give full props to A.R Torre for writing an amazing story and will be recommending "Every Last Secret" to anyone who will listen! I have a few other A.R Torre books on my wish list and I am very excited to see what else Torre has written...I already know they will be great!

the plot twists well some of them i seen but most of them i was actually shocked that i didn’t see coming.
the ending was interesting, i feel like it’s very hard to end a book like this without adding a whole lot of trauma. this ending was good, i think it really wrapped up the characters and their lives.
my favourite character was william. he was just so… predictable. very silly man in a good way i suppose.
overall i actually would recommend this book besides my rating i think that’s just a personal thing that i rated it like that. could have been 4 stars if something WORSE happened in the book for me personally.
