Setting: Maine
Rep: n/a

This was a promising domestic thriller from Sarina Bowen! I liked Ariel as a character and I was rooting for her and Drew. Definitely kept me intrigued especially towards the end. The baddies were quite painfully obvious as they were literally the only possibilities but this story was as much about Drew and Ariel as it was about the mystery so I didn't mind too much.
