Synopsis:
Lesson #1: trust no one
Eve has a good life. She gets up each day, gets a kiss from her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except…
Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal, with one student, Addie, at its center. And this year, Eve is dismayed to find the girl in her class.
Addie can’t be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that’s what everyone says.
But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet.
Review:
This was the most unhinged book I’ve read in a long time and I truly mean that as a compliment. If I’m in the mood for a bananas thriller, but one that provides a great escape and is a whole lot of fun along the way I know I can always turn to this author. Her plots are always slightly ridiculous and some things just work out a little too conveniently, but if you want brain candy this was a blast. The chapters are short, you get several POVs and with lots of twists you will have a hard time setting this one down. Don’t think too much when you’re reading this, suspend all disbelief and just enjoy the ride and I think you’ll have a good time with this addictive read.
Overall rating: 4/5
Thanks to the publisher for my review copy.
