4.25⭐
Publication date ~ January 17, 2023
Page Count ~ 326
Audio length ~ 11 hours 16 minute
Narrator ~ Karissa Vacker
POV ~ single 1st
Featuring ~ childhood trauma, secrets, suicide references

Secrets run deep with childhood friends Naomi, Cassidy and Olivia and they're still haunted 22 years later.
There were some nice twists I didn't see coming ~ whoop whoop! This was a solid suspenseful thriller with a shocking conclusion and this author is on my radar now. From what I gather this is her debut in adult fiction as she normally writes YA, so job well done.

BTW ~ I liked that Naomi never wanted to cover up her facial scars.

I was fortunate enough to receive a kindle copy and the audiobook to review. Either way was great.
Narration notes:
Karissa is a well seasoned narrator and did a fantastic job as always.

*Thanks to Kate Alice Marshall, Macmillan audio, Flatiron Books and Netgally for my audio copy. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review*
