In beautiful Newport Cove, one of the top 20 safest neighborhoods in the US, everyone's lives are perfect. No, of course not! Seriously, as soon as you learn about how bucolic this place is, you know someone's up to something. Anyway, back to the summary. Kellie Scott has just returned back to work after years of being a stay-at-home mom, but she's distracted by the hot, married guy at her new office. She's married, too, of course. Susan Barrett doesn't mean to stalk her ex-husband and his new girlfriend, but she can't help herself. And Tessa Campbell seems okay, although kind of weird. Which makes sense, considering she's hiding a huuuuuge secret.
Of course, you think you know what Tessa's secret is, especially since the story reveals bits and pieces of her secret throughout the whole thing. However, there's a twist. And, this is the only thing that wasn't predictable about the book. I did find it entertaining to listen to, although some of the behavior of the characters made me cringe. The blurb on the front calls this "A compelling and suspenseful tale," and I would disagree; it was compelling only because it kept my mind off of the awful driving and traffic I experience on my commute every day, and it wasn't truly suspenseful --- although wondering when and how these people would find out about Tessa's big secret did keep me in suspense.
