Want to Know a Secret?

From #1 internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden!

Everyone has secrets. Some are worse than others.

Influencer and baking sensation April Masterson knows the secret to the perfect gooey brownies. Or how to make key lime squares that will melt in your mouth. But if you keep watching her offline, you may find out some other secrets about April. Secrets she'd rather you didn't know.

Like... Where did her son go when he snuck out late at night? What was she doing with the local soccer coach behind fogged windows?

And what's buried in her backyard?

April's secrets are enough to destroy her.

I'll make sure of that.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden peels back the layers of a seemingly flawless life to expose a picture of obsession, deception, and the quiet menace that waits just beyond the frame.

I enjoyed this book by McFadden. It is typical of her style- you know there is a twist of some sort, but I didn't guess what would happen. I kept wondering who was tormenting April Masterson and why. There are two neighbors, Julie and Maria who also know April, her "best friends." It is a good mystery and one that had me constantly wanting to read more. April is a YouTube star of a cooking show "Sweet Secrets" and makes the most amazing desserts. Then she begins to receive text messages from a blocked number and there are several disturbing negative comments about her show. She is always doing things for her neighbors, takes care of her aging mother in a nursing home, and is a loving wife to Elliot, and mother to seven-year-old Bobby, who is being bullied and blamed for pushing, lying , and stealing. Why is everything going so terribly wrong in her life?

Wasn't a fan of this one. Very repetitive. Pretty well all the characters were unlikable until the last 100 or so pages when the POV switched. I wouldn't recommend this one of hers
