Sarah and long-term boyfriend Tom are getting engaged to the utter dismay of Ginny, Sarah's supposedly best friend since boarding school. Ginny wants what Sarah has and thus, sets in motion a rather devious plan of action that slowly but surely is showing signs of success.
Ginny is seriously crazy. Most disgusting scene with a cat in a book ever (no cats are harmed).
Tom is a total drip, an investigative journalist who happens to be investigating the very issue that should shed light on his crumbling relationship. Parts of that scenario didn't work for me.
The inclusion of the story line with Tom's parents was quite interesting and helped to flesh out the characters, though it was a bit predictable.
This was a 3-star read for a lot of the time, but towards the end, the pace picked up and a surprising revelation about Ginny, which explained a lot about her behavior and which seemed plausible, catapulted it to 4 stars.
Overall, an entertaining, suspenseful story about mental health, family secrets and relationships.
I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Definitely don't judge a book by its cover. I read it in about 2 weeks. Good twist at the end, didn't see it coming. Recommended good read. ( )
