I listened to this on audio. Joshilyn reads it, and I adore her narration. The story is creepy and heartfelt all at once. The threads to this one moved slowly, but are so solid. I especially enjoyed the evolvement in Talia and Laurel's relationship, and just how well Laurel knew her own mind. ( )

A girl drowns in a family's pool, and the mother Laurel is determined that a man in the neighborhood is responsible in at least some manner. There were some unrealistic happenings in this book that made it hard to read in places. It was just ok. ( )

First, Joshilyn Jackson reading her own novels is great. She has such a crazy unique way with words. She can also have me in a tense moment and then have me laughing out loud at the same moment. I liked the story OK. The main sister had a beautiful relationship with her husband. But the main sister was also convinced of something until she was convinced of something else, many times. Joshilyn's way with words though! ( )

Not one of my favorites of hers. Just a little too long winded, could have been a short story. ( )
