 Thanks to NetGalley for this arc. This was kinda hard for me to follow with all the characters names introduced. There are 3 families that move into a luxurious community that’s safe with big houses and the 3 mothers become fast friends Avril, Lily and Sandy with their teenagers all getting to know each other too. We get to know each of the women and their families one by one but to me Sandy’s past comes up and we get to know her backstory a lot with her ex. Bethany, Avril’s daughter got expelled from her other school and is now Lily has assumptions about Bethany being bad and possibly could harm her daughter Poppy and also Sandy’s son, Mikey since they are the group of friends. 40% through or around that, that’s when mysterious things start to happen to the teenagers and little by little the secrets that are supposed to be tight lipped slip out and unfold with events happening and tensions get higher as time goes on. At the 70% there’s another twist but the whole story was just lacking some things I was hoping for. Overall I had some fun while I was reading it but it’s very forgettable.
