It just didn't capture me. I might go back to it at some point. I wasn't really keen on reading about privillaged mums

Keep Your Friends Close jumped right in with the drama. This book follows a group of moms and is told from multiple POVs, both past and present. I really enjoyed the different storylines and felt like I got to know the characters. These moms were full of drama, secrets and lies and I am here for it! I felt like Lucinda was back full force with a great story and filled it up with great stories from her psychology background. I really enjoyed how the story unfolded and kept me flipping those pages into the late hours. I highly recommend this one!

Well that was a wild ride. Really loved this book and didn’t want to put it down. This was very much Real Housewives but make it suspenseful, dark and of course a murder. Loved the alternating time lines and multiple POV’s. This was a very fast paced read and the twists and turns were crazy. My only complaint is the amount of time “ohmigod” was said and the talk of Covid. With that being said 4.5 ⭐️

Can’t wait to read more from this author!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.
