It Could Be Anyone by Jaime Lynn Hendricks
4.0

★ 3.75 Stars ★ (rounding up)
I was impressed by Jaime Lynn Hendricks' debut novel and was thrilled to receive an ARC of her upcoming book, "A Lovely Lie." However, I must confess that "It Could Be Anyone" has been gathering dust on my NetGalley shelf for quite some time.

The story begins with a gripping chapter that will take your breath away! Trevor and Fiona exchange their vows, and everyone is enjoying the wedding reception when Trevor suddenly drops dead. His death is presumed to be from an allergic reaction, but it is being investigated as suspicious.

Fiona’s five college friends flew in from NYC to attend the Miami wedding. Although they all publicly praised Trevor, none of them meant it. The story jumps between different timelines and shows flashbacks of Trevor's conversations with each of Fiona’s friends. He blackmailed them into giving him the support he needed to encourage Fiona to go through with the wedding. Somehow, Trevor unearthed a dark secret each wanted to keep hidden and dangled it over their head. He was such a devious scumbag, he deserved what he got!

"Finding Tessa" was such an exceptional book. "It Could Be Anyone" was an intriguing story tucked within a stunning cover, but it didn't quite live up to the author's debut novel. I have a feeling “A Lovely Lie” will measure up and I’m excited to plunge in!
