It's One of Us is a novel I went into blind based on the recommendation of a trusted bookish creator and I'm so glad I did. I've never read from JT Ellison before and after finishing this book, I am eager to dig into her backlist. I think I did know it was narrated by Julia Whelan, who doesn't do a lot of thrillers- and she nailed this one. I love this genre but rarely feel a book really nails it and this one did for me. 

I almost always suggest going into books relatively blind. I am going to say go in blind as a bat in the daytime on this one, but be aware that there is significant discussion of infertility, miscarriage, and some minor discussion of abortion. 

If you like multi-perspective thrillers with steady reveals that have you questioning the past and the present, It's One of Us is an excellent choice.
