Five women wake up with no memory of the night before and their former leader, Bianca Jones, dead in the bathroom.
Lifelong friendships quickly unravel as dark secrets are brought to the light and lies revealed. Everyone has a motive. Everyone is lying about something. And someone remembers more than they're saying.
This book was different. I liked it, but I think the most interesting part was the lesson behind it all. What really stood out to me was something my pastor said at church Sunday about how God works behind the scenes. Sometimes the picture we see on the outside looks completely different from what’s really happening in the background. And that’s exactly what those girls created — a picture that looked good on the surface, but underneath it was damaged, tainted, and full of hidden issues.
This story honestly gives a life lesson that can stick with you forever. It makes you stop and think. It makes you more conscious about how you treat people, how far seeking attention can go, and how some choices can lead you somewhere you can’t come back from.
It was a quick read, but still very deep and impactful. Definitely one of those books that leaves you thinking long after you finish it.
Five women, one dead body, missing memories, hidden secrets, and everybody lying? Yeah…this story had me hooked!
This was a great “who done it?” mystery and Linette King did an amazing job bringing us into the minds of each character while unraveling the mystery surrounding Bianca Jones’ death. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, another secret came to light.
What stayed with me most was the message about character and choices—how choices matter long before consequences arrive. This was an entertaining, thought-provoking, and really well-written read.
“You either belonged to something, or you got swallowed by it and I chose to belong. We all did.”
If you are looking for a twisty thriller novella:
-complex friendships -“who did it?” narrative -multiple POVs -lies & deceit -control & manipulation -strong jealously -reaping what you sow -130 pages
Wow, this was not what I expected at all. At first, it took awhile to figure out who was who. There were a lot of characters introduced for a novella. Once I got the hang of that, the swap from POV to POV had me unsure where the story would go.
The ending soiled it for me. I get where Linette King was trying to go with the story with the underlying messages. But, it fell flat for me.

I was literally side eyeing everyone in this book! I just KNEW that officer had something to do with the death of Queen B but I was wrong yet again. This is starting to become a pattern with Linette King’s books. I really enjoyed it and the afterword about making sure to be a good person when no one is looking.
Well, I just knew those girls had it out for Bianca. Lauren is just nasty. I think she did that on purpose. Every one of them girls thought having a crew is what makes you. There is always a ring leader, leader is always calculated, mean as hell. If I was any one of them I'm Jade.
This book was truly unforgettable! If you're into a detailed yet intense story, then this read is definitely for you. The ending absolutely blew me away, I was so shocked by the twist! I highly recommend it. 🤯📚 #book #story #read #ending #twist #recommendation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
