This is another psychological thriller by best selling author Frieda McFadden that turns things upside down. It is told from three perspectives, first from April’s and then from “best” friend’s Julie, and finally from a surprising third person. This unique format keeps the reader guessing, as the story initially takes one direction before revealing another. Who is the true villain here? The twist at the end, though a bit over-the-top, is amusing.

As I was reading this story, I kept thinking of it as mean girls become adults and move to Long Island. 

Fans of McFadden and what I refer to as “popcorn thrillers” will welcome this addition to her body of work. While some may find the first part of the book a bit slow, repetitive and the characters exaggerated, it’s worth persevering for the second part.
