WOW! Just wow! I was hooked from the first chapter no wait from the first word! Books like this is why I read! It’s what makes reading exciting! Okay let me collect myself and calm down. Insert pause. Here we go. It starts out seemingly normal. We have all been that woman that has noticed another woman who seems to have it all. Then goes home that night and stalks said woman on social media. I love watching influencers and they aren’t any different than I am. They just record their life. But I’m hooked. I want to see what they are doing just like Josie did with Alix. Speaking of influencers the only thing that I wanted to change in this book is I wanted Alix to have more than 8,000 followers on Instagram. 🤷🏻‍♀️ You can literally feel Josie’s jealously come through the pages. To me when Alix described Josie was basically all in denim and the dog matched a red flag went up! 🚩 Walter told Alix to watch out for Josie…when she doesn’t like the reality of things she finds a reality she prefers. She’s a control freak and you don’t even realize your being controlled. And the ending! My-lanta! Who is telling the truth? Who is lying? This was a masterfully woven story. There is no way they can’t turn this book into a movie. Lisa Jewell is a genius! It’s going to take a lot to beat this book for my number one pick of the year. So dang good.
