She read

Tessa quit her job to stay at home with her two children while pursuing her dream of writing a book. The dream comes true as her debut novel  becomes a bestseller, launching her on a whirlwind promotional tour. The tour takes a terrifying turn as she is hiding secrets from her past and realizes she is being stalked by someone out to make sure secrets are revealed, thus destroying her career and her family.  

I have read and enjoyed works by this author before, but this one started off slow for me. I thought Tessa’s musings about a found piece of jewelry repetitive and her husband annoying. I couldn’t believe he went out and bought an expensive house for the family without consulting her and continued that disrespect by painting the kitchen an unusual color with no discussion.  

As the tension builds, so does Tessa’s paranoia and I found I couldn’t put the book down reading late into the night to find out the resolution. Skillfully plotted, this  is an entertaining, engrossing psychological thriller with some surprising twists. 

I also want to acknowledge the author’s insightful exploration of the pressures and anxieties inherent in projecting an image in today’s world, exacerbated by the pervasive influence and constant concern surrounding social media.

Thanks to  @NetGalley and @StMartinsPress @minotaur_Books for the DRC.
