Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for an advance reader’s copy

Told in multiple timelines, in present time, a body is found floating in a river. Is it an accident? Was it suicidal? Being that it’s Maya’s sister, she’s determined to find out. But not without confronting her own past and something that feels oh so familiar.

With multiple timelines and dual narratives, we have Naomi and Maya, sisters years apart but so similar as Naomi follows in her sisters footsteps to attend her same Alma mater. The reader follows Naomi in her final days, introducing the reader to multiple red herring moments. Even though the author had some good tension building moments, the underlining why there should be tension was not established as well as it should have been. Anytime I felt a character jumpy for what was behind them, I felt why, you haven’t done anything. 

Even though this has some fun popcorn thriller moments, it is too long for what the story actually is. This was definitely a good 50-75 pages of too much. I enjoyed the ending, even if it felt like we breezed through it, but not always the journey to get there
