Sara Shepard

"You might be fooling some, but you're not fooling me."

I love author Sara Shepard. She writes great female friendships and the drama that can be laced within them. This story is about friendships - how they can be good or they can be toxic. How it can be hard to start making new friends in your 20's.

The story has dual timelines - so there's a story of before a story of now. Now, they are older - with significant others and kids. Previously, they are new friends to new co-workers. It's a few friendships and it takes a minute to see how they all fit together.

This story did reach a point, however, where I had to suspend my disbelief but I just didn't things would work that way. But it was a nice mystery, an interesting look into these friendships and fun twists and turns.

First off, I love this cover. It's so gorgeous and plays well in to the story. Now, when I first stared the story, I wasn't 100% sure this book and I were going to get along. I didn't feel pulled in or understand the story. But pretty quickly, the first twist happens and then I was interested.

There were a lot of questions I had a long the way and, thankfully, they were answered. I didn't love the love story in this one, didn't feel completely immersed in the story, but I did find the story entertaining and found myself wanting to know the answers. The end was satisfying and adorable.

I have a special spot in my heart for [a:Sara Shepard|93970|Sara Shepard|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1229580414p2/93970.jpg]. I love Pretty Little Liars and The Lying Game. So I was pretty excited when I spotted this new one.

And I loved it. I like that you have Lauren, Ronnie and Andrea's each separate POV. It helped give us the whole story and give more clues. I loved each girl separately for what they brought to the story and their own struggles. I love how they found each other (spiking the drinks was hilarious!) and I love how they found a friendship in the midst of all the craziness.

I thought the bad guy was a little obvious but I didn't mind going through the story. I did find a lot of the ending a surprise though - and the twists I didn't see coming. It's almost set up like there could be more story here and, if there was, I would definitely read it. I love these three!!
