A powerful, gripping slow burn.
The town of Emerson, a beautiful suburb in Massachusetts, is rocked by the news of a young woman’s death. It’s revealed that 3 teenagers were with her on the night of her death, but all three claim to have left her while she was still alive. The parents of the teens in question will do anything to keep them safe, but each one ultimately wants to find out the truth of what happened that night. That goes for the dead woman’s mother as well.
As POVs switch and timelines bounce around, you will be hooked! I know I was…even though it’s definitely a slow burn. I’ll point out that the story was always interesting, and it’s the kind where I didn’t want it to end even though I was rapidly turning the pages to see how everything would end.
This novel is moving, thought-provoking, intense, and heartbreaking. The only MINOR downside for me was the ending. I wanted a bit more.
I would highly recommend this one. 4.5 stars rounded up.

Great review, Michael! I’m glad that this one was a winner for you. I will definitely add it to my list.
Terrific review Michael, the premise reminds me of 'The Best of Friends' (which we both rated five stars) so adding this based on your thoughts.
Thanks, Susan! Such a good book! I think the vibe of this one is a bit different, but I’d love to see what you think!
Awesome review, Michael! I keep trying to resist adding another widget, but friends like you are making it impossible! 😅
Fabulous review, Michael! The ending worked for me, but I can understand why you wanted more. I am glad you enjoyed this too!
Wow the second review with high ratings, I have this one, will have to read it soon. Great review Michael :)
