Not for me---
domestic abuse
alcoholics
husbands murdered (duh as if you can't guess whodunnit)
so this storyline is not one I find interesting and I didn't like her writing style and when you get more POV options it just gets tiresome and sometimes confusing
I didn't like the way it started out---one gal seeing another gal in the liquor aisle so decides to 'stalk' her and see something she reports but yet drinking all the time etc
Tiresome format for me

This book grabbed me from the very beginning and kept me on edge. I wanted to just escape someplace where I would have no interruptions while reading it. I could feel for myself the fear and hopelessness the main characters experienced. It is hard to believe that this is Murphy's debut novel.
In a liquor store, Leah crosses paths with McKenna and thinks âIt was like looking at myself, nine months ago.â Thus, their lives will both be changed.
This is a story of two women who supposedly have it all - husbands who are both handsome and wealthy, beautiful houses, all the trappings of a successful life. But no one knows what goes on behind their closed doors. No one knows about the controlling husbands and the abuse the husbands inflict upon Leah and McKenna.
Leah is compelled to find where McKenna lives and begins observing her from afar. Then one night she sees a violent act in McKenna's home, and she snaps. She takes matters into her own hands.
Written with compassion and an understanding of the emotional impact of spousal abuse, this story may make you wonder if someone you know is experiencing the same nightmare that Leah and McKenna experience.
I will be watching for future books by this author. Her writing is incredible.
I received an advance egalley from the publisher. The opinions expressed here are my own.
