Synopsis:
Tells the story of a charismatic woman who opens a female-centered business (Eleanor), and how she goes missing. Told from the POV of two sisters who are friends with the woman, they try to find out what happened to Eleanor. A bunch of stuff from their pasts are discovered and you wonder how these secrets may have contributed to Eleanor’s demise.

Review:
Decent book, interesting topic. I like how this author always shows complicated friendships. The ending was weak for me, especially the epilogue.
I also don’t love how Hanna just kinda gets off free? Didn’t make much sense as to why Micki took the fall for her after she tried to literally kill her.


Recommend: Yeah it’s a good thriller. I liked the narration style a lot.

I thought it was a pretty ok book. It was a popcorn mystery. It won’t win any awards but it was pretty entertaining.
