Something She's Not Telling Us by Darcey Bell

3.0

Like most of the world, I loved A Simple Favor (I think I’ve watched the movie like 10 times). Something She’s Not Telling Us promised to be an excellent second book by this author, with an interesting cover and premise. The suspense was building throughout the whole novel and then the ending just...fell flat. I was so disappointed! I enjoy the author’s writing style with various narrators slowly showing that what you see may not be the truth, with tons of secrets behind every person. It just...wasn’t realistic and the “big secrets” turned out to be rather predictable. This book had all the right ingredients: vague past histories, questionable characters, and family drama, and it was a quick and easy read. It was entertaining despite the problems I mentioned above, however...the ending! Ugh! It happened so abruptly and completely ruined the whole story for me, since there was just no point!

Overall, it was an entertaining book but the end was disappointing. Thank you so much to Harper Collins for this gifted copy in exchange for an honest review!
