Es un libro bastante entretenido y con personajes complejos. La relación entre Cassie y Billie tiene un desarrollo brutal, y una vez que conocemos los altos y bajos de esta amistad entendemos las decisiones de cada una.
La nostalgia que experimenta Billie y su aprehensión respecto a Cassie en contraste con el desapego y ganas de olvidar de la última más la falta de comunicación, es la fórmula infalible para que se lastimen entre ellas, a ellas mismas y al resto de personas que les importan.
No estoy tan segura de creerme como los crímenes se pagaron con *créditos morales*. No es que quisiera ver en la cárcel a alguna de ellas, pero they got away with it. Aunque eso sí, les costó lo que más les importó en un momento de sus vidas: la relación entre ellas.
La forma en que se describen situaciones de abuso y de conflicto me resultaron realistas en el sentido de que no fue morboso, no fue sensacionalista... Fue doloroso sin irse a lo melodramático.
El storytelling es muy bueno, fue mi primera novela de la autora y tengo ganas de seguir leyéndola.

Thank you, St. Martin's Press, for the digital advance reader copy of Bye, Baby.
Cassie and Billy have been friends since childhood. They were inseparable until a falling out causes them to be estranged in adulthood. Until... one night. Cassie is celebrating her birthday with a party at. A party to which she did not invite Cassie. At some point during the party, Cassie realizes that her baby is missing. And just a floor below, Billy holds the baby in her arms. Billy becomes Cassie's lifeline in the trauma of her baby's kidnapping, rekindling their bond. But Cassie doesn't know that it's Billy who is responsible for the kidnapping.
This very readable page turner is told in multiple timelines and dual perspectives.
There were thrilling moments for sure in this thriller. But the interesting, complicated friendship between the women and following the stages of their lives and what they went through had the book leaning more to women's fiction.
The compelling supporting characters kept the story moving and added to the well formed plot.
There's heartbreak and gossip and even a little humor swept into the story and I found myself enjoying it from start to finish.
