Z’s Reviews > Cross Her Heart > Status Update

Overall, I was bored and not invested, and it went off the rails towards the end but not in a fantasy way or mystic or anything really. Just bafflingly unbelievable; but I did enjoy this author’s other books, so due to that and the fact it was simply not poorly written, I will give it 3*

Katie got close to C’s ex husband and found out their new address.
K is Someone’s mother but idk who. Josie?

Her step dad abused her brother

C finds the clues and is knocked out and tied up. Marilyn and the guy who liked C work together to find where C went.

C follows Julia from work, who pitted everyone against her, who is older than she acts. M confirms she’s not. They’ll work together now.

K hates C because C made anon call to cops that 2 girls took a little boy into abandoned shed. She broke her promise and they were supposed to go away and be together forever. Now she wants to kill her.

C has to figure out who she is

It’s dragging now. I’m finishing because I’m already in it.

Katie has been in hiding and has Ava. Maybe it would be more interesting if there were less office gossip and more K and C during their childhood, delving into their twisted close relationship and how they came to be who they are now. Not even the murder cuz I know that’s a finale reveal.

M is fighting coworkers regarding C and who stole the $

Katie and Charlotte are a sick pair. C also really wants her mom to die. Hates brother.

Cops think Charlotte was sending Ava the emails cuz John’s laptop is in the house. Then John was found dead, decomp for over a year

Marilyn warns cops what they say to her husband since he wants to sell the story

C is convinced Katie has come for Ava (her body was never found after drowning report)

Ava runs away to be with internet bf. Cops say It’s John! Her father!

Marilyn’s abusive The husband wants her to sell her info as her bff to the media to cover his money troubles. Marilyn empties accts to leave him

Flashback to before Ava was born, Charlotte tells her bf the truth. They have Ava then he turns to alcoholism and hatred for her. She leaves w Ava without telling him.

Her real name is Charlotte and her past sin is murder of her 2yo brother when she was 11. Everyone around is reeling from the news. Ava wishes she were aborted, Marilyn is questioning everything what was real in their friendship what was a lie.

Ava isn’t allowed social media per parole officer so she can’t reach her online bf.

Ava misses period, agrees to meet online bf next week

Lisa hears “their” song on the radio and some picture frames are broken at home. She goes on first date with Simon

Ava saves a kid from drowning at the festival so an article was written about her w photos.

Paps are outside for Lisa.

Lisa’s bff has a terrible husband.

Lisa has a past, her son died I believe and buried w a stuffed animal. And she found one outside her home that looked eerily similar.

Her daughter Ava is now 16, with over protective mom and a secret online relationship

Simon from work is interested in Lisa
