It’s been five years since Savvy was murdered. Her best friend Lucy, who has amnesia about that night, was the primary suspect, but without any evidence she was never arrested. Now a true prime podcast is taking on the story, and Lucy returns to her hometown to find out the truth. Did she kill her best friend? Or are the memories she can’t recall hiding something else? 

I enjoyed this thriller a lot! It’s kind of crass and the characters are sarcastic and a bit twisted at times, but I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty.
