Book Review of Someone Knows

Someone Knows
junie avatar reviewed on + 630 more book reviews


I was totally invested in each character from page one.
They made a tragic mistake.
They were fifteen years old.
They lived in an upscale suburb.
Sasha was beautiful and spoiled whose parents were never around.
Ally was chubby and unhappy who lost a beloved sister to CF.
David thought he may be gay and his father called him names.
Julian's father owned the company who built the high-end mini-mansions.
They kept their secret for twenty years.

The past came crashing down as they meet again at a funeral, no longer high school teenagers, but troubled adults whose well kept secret spiraled out of control.

I was immersed in this book from the first; couldn't bear to put it down. It was sad and disturbing and brought tears to my eyes. However Ms. Scottoline probably wanted an OMG twist ending I felt was totally unnecessary; thus four stars instead of five.
