Jane Preston has all that she wanted: a nice little cafe, her perfect husband and her best friends with whom she has a running club. Her life was going well until Lexie Lane, a newcomer shows up in her small neighbourhood.
Lexie has been attempting to cause rifts between Jane and her best friend Sophie with any possible reason. Sophie and Lexie's friendship instantly grows but they become especially close after learning that they are both having children at the same time. Jane is ecstatic for her friend, but she can't help but be envious due to her inability to bear children.
By coincidence at the joint baby shower of Lexie and Sophie, Jane found out that Lexie isn't pregnant after all. At the same time, Jane's husband Frankie also got himself into ludicrous problems.
Jane has her suspicions and she starts investigating despite her falling out with her best friends. Will it be too late to know uncover Lexie's secrets?

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Usually my firsts from the author is not good but this I would say was good. Initially, getting into the 3rd person POV was difficult and I couldn't find myself understanding her world. There were also additional POVs in the beginning that popped out of nowhere, with the time lapses it was also hard to understand the whole picture. It was a little draggy up till about half of the book. After which the pace quickened, it got better and I read it finish.
It did keep up to the thriller aspect because the second half had me wanting to read more. I was curious as to how it unfolds, even though it is quite predictable at times I found myself thinking otherwise. It also had a very important message in the book that I liked because of the relevance and it not being spoken much.
The dynamics of the small town was also nice to read. The friendships with one another, Jane and Frankie's marriage, it felt like a closely knitted community. A problem with those however is the inability to prevent gossip.
Overall, a good read that suited the genre. Quite forgettable but it was nice reading it.
