This book is about a mother struggling with her daughters death. It shows how far someone will go to prove things shouldn’t be covered for to long with lies. 

Jawbreaker—Big Little Lies—Gossip Girl
All rolled into one. I LOVED this book. I was sent on an emotional roller coaster. I loved the story, every character was written SO well. It was a huge mystery and as soon as I thought I figured it out, I was turned upside down. Definitely an easy 5/5. I can’t wait to see the movie. It’s a thriller mystery and be aware of trigger warnings before reading. There’s one character that I couldn’t stand, they played villain SO well. I can’t wait to check out more novels written by Kimberly McCreight. 
Pros: plot and didn’t have much slow moments 
Cons: I did figure out a few twists before they came.
