pickAugust 13, 2025 This book was not really interesting in the beginning therefore I would find myself stopping now and then. But once I got right before halfway, the story took a turn and I found myself flipping faster. Mackenzie Casper finds out that a woman named Tonya was pretending to be Elizabeth Casper and got jealous of Elizabeth so she stole her husband Ben. Ben played along with it and Elizabeth was given sedatives that damaged her brain.
August 10, 2025 Page 283 "Tonya? Tonya knew how to say the right things at the right time to get what she wanted. She had that gift to suck you in. I don't know. Mysterious words, jokes, clinging to you then pulling back. Push and pull like a tide. She made you feel great about yourself. She felt like your best buddy."
August 10, 2025 Page 213 "All right, Elizabeth, we are all very excited to finally meet you and get your books into the hands of millions of readers." "I will see you in New York next week, Elizabeth!" Yes, I think to myself. Next week. In New York. I will fly there. I will be Elizabeth Dunn. I will even stay with this doofus Ben until I can get did of him.... There's only one problem. I need to get rid of the real Elizabeth...
August 10, 2025 Page 178 "What would she tell you, Ben?" Tonya snapped. "That she was a psycho? A creeper? With some deranged ideas in her head? And because she was jealous of one boy and me, she followed him and his two friends to a barn and set it on fire killing them? You think she'd actually tell you that?"
August 9, 2025 Page 156 "Stop!" I protest in panic. "No, we are not gonna just walk into someone's house." Suddey, the sound of a trigger cocking clicks behind our backs, and an elderly female voice says, "You take one more step, and I shoot."
August 9, 2025 Halfway through the book... Chapter 22...
July 28, 2025 Started the book today. Seems pretty sad. Haven't gotten into it too much other than mostly reading about how Mackenzie, Elizabeth Casper's daughter tried to begin writing as her hobby and then her mom distanced herself. Elizabeth Casper went by E.V. Renge and her book was titled Lies, Lies, and Revenge. Her moms' death was not an accident according to her grandma and dad. What happened to Elizabeth then?
July 28, 2025 My next TBR
pickWow this was such a good read. It had me hooked from the very beginning. Its a fairly quick read as well. The story is mostly told by Mackensie but we do get odd chapters by other characters to add a little more depth and context. This is full of so many clever twist, though I guessed at couple. The ending was so good and brought everything together brilliantly. I loved the very final twist, that was so genius and unexpected. #Netgalley 4*
pickThis was a fantastic mystery and well worth the hype! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
