Something She's Not Telling Us by Darcey Bell

4.0

Charlotte and Eli are married and have an adorable five year old daughter Daisy. Charlotte owns her own flower shop which is very successful but she’s hiding a dark secret. She’s over protective of daisy who suffers from asthma some may call her a helicopter mom. Rocco whose Charlottes brother is a recovering alcoholic and works on their old family farm he is happy to have a steady job. When Rocco shows up to dinner and introduces his latest girlfriend Ruth, Charlotte immediately feels like something is off. Ruth seems a little to friendly with Daisy and the stories she tells about herself don’t seem to add up she also seems to know that Charlotte is hiding something and keeps hinting at it. One day while running late to pick up Daisy from school, Charlotte is informed that she’s already been picked up by “aunt Ruth”. Panicking Charlotte wonders why did Ruth take Daisy and how are they going get her back? Who is Ruth really and how does she know Charlottes secret? Ever since Ruth entered Charlottes life it seems like her life has slowly unraveled. Told in alternating timeline from the day of the kidnapping and what led up to the kidnapping and the book is told in Ruth and Charlottes perspective. The book took off with a bang and then became a slow-burn but I loved it! This book was filled with complex characters filled with secrets! I give this four stars!
