I’ve only read one other book by this author, The Other Woman, and I was so obsessed with it. I picked this book randomly from my TBR jar as I needed a change of scenery from the two biographies I’m reading. But anyway, this book was amazing and I’ll even say that it was better than The Other Woman, which was exceptional. I couldn’t guess a single twist. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I was dead wrong. 

We get two POVs, Kate and Lauren, who are sisters and so different in every single way. Both POVs were so wild and I couldn’t trust them in the slightest. They both started to become seriously unhinged. It didn’t help that there was so much tension between them. It wasn’t the normal sister rivalry. It was something more. And it played into the drama of everything. They certainly didn’t help matters at all. Their relationship is the miscommunication done correctly. Each believed that something happened and they intercepted the situation differently. This is how the miscommunication trope should be done! 

As I mentioned above, every single time I thought I had something figured out, a new twist was thrown in and I was back to square one. I was living for it! I was glad to always be wrong because the twists were so much better than what I came up with. And no, I’m not going to tell you anything. You’ll have to read the book to find out. I know, I am a mean person.

Overall, as you might have guessed, I loved this book. So far Sandie Jones is two for two for me and  I will continue to seek out Sandie Jones’ books every chance I get. I need everyone else to read this book because I guarantee you all will love it. I can't wait to read more of Sandie Jones’ books.
