Had me hooked and almost read it in one go. Wasn't as intense as some say it is, but still enough mystery and thrill for me to want to find out what happened next asap!

This was much better than I expected. I loved the format of the chapters … the mother being the main character and then the daughter doing video diary entries. It was very engaging.

Kate Turner and her teenage daughter, Alex, move from Buffalo, New York to a small beachside town in Florida. Kate's husband died suddenly and both mother and daughter are looking for a fresh start. Alex immediately gets on the wrong side of the Queen Bees of her new high school, but Kate is befriended by their mothers. Kate and Alex both end up in the middle of drama and Kate realizes she doesn't know who she can trust. However, when that drama heats up into something dangerous, Kate is determined to protect her daughter.

This story is told from two different timelines with a prologue letting you know right up front that things are not going to turn out well for at least one of the characters. I was drawn into the story from the beginning, but it was a tense read. I was worried about what would happen next. As bad as the bullying and poor decisions by some of the characters were, you knew it was going to get worse. It was hard reading about some of the bullying that went on by some truly horrible characters, but the story kept my interest. I liked the intriguing and somewhat ambiguous ending. This is the second book I've read by this author and I would like to read more of her work.

I received an advance copy of this ebook from NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer at no cost. My review is voluntary and unbiased.

I didn’t really love any of the characters, but I fully enjoyed the story. I found the friendship dynamics to be really interesting and different than I’ve read in most books.
