Just Between Us

From the publisher (edited for length and clarity) - Alison, Julie, Sarah, Heather. Four friends living the suburban ideal. Their jobs are steady, their kids are healthy. But each of them has a dirty little secret, and hidden behind the veneer of their perfect lives is a crime and a mystery that will consume them all. Everything starts to unravel when Alison spots a nasty bruise on Heather’s wrist. She shares her suspicions with Julie and Sarah, compelling all three to investigate what looks like an increasingly violent marriage. As mysterious injuries and erratic behavior mount, Heather can no longer deny the abuse, but she refuses to leave her husband. Desperate to save her, Alison and the others dread the phone call telling them that she’s been killed. But when that call finally comes, it’s not Heather who’s dead. In a moment they’ll come to regret, the women must decide what lengths they’ll go to in order to help a friend.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Rebecca Drake for keeping me awake until 4.18 a.m. as I had to finish this twisty ride. I kept trying to decide who would play each character in a movie or HBO series and then went online to order all of Rebecca Drake's previous novels to read. --- that is how hooked I was on this book.

Ms. Drake seems to know how twisty friendships work and how to keep a reader engrossed for hours and then angry that the book wasn't longer.

#freakingawesomebook ?? Yes!!! Should you read it? YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
