Great first book by a new author. I really enjoyed this book. Louise receives a friend request sent by someone who died over 20 years ago. The request seems very real and Louise tries to figure out who sent it. She has secrets in her past that come into play that she has tried to forget that come roaring back to the present to haunt her all over again. The ending is not what I expected, but is still very good. Would recommend this thrilling book!

1st of all it took me forever to read this book. I saw a lot of 4 to 5 star reviews so I thought, why not? Louise is the main character & the book skips back & forth between high school in 1989 & present day 2016. She's still caught up over 20 years later on how she wasn't popular in high school & how she & her "friend" Sophie she clung to be with popular & the new girl Maria who she befriends but ultimately betrays through peer pressure. Present day Maria (who's dead) sends a friend request on facebook to Louise who had something to do with her death & the book is downhill from there. Louise is so weak & needy & desperate in high school & still in present day & can't let go of the guilt of whatever happened to Maria. Louise is divorced with a young child who she would rather spend time with that pursuing healthy adult friendships. I thought the book was too long, convoluted, & whiny. It wasn't worth the time & effort to read but I always finish a book.
