Psst. . .over here! Hey you, there, reading this review, I’m talking to you! It can never be said that I’m a gossip, but I’m telling you this book was one of the best I’ve read thus far for 2019. If it’s mind games you enjoy reading, then ‘rumor’ has it, you’ll want to read this book!
Women! If you’re one, you know how we do! If we hear one thing, we can’t keep it to
ourselves. We’ve got to spread the word
as quick as wildfire, which is exactly what happened in this fast-paced,
electrifying read. Oh yes, Joanna, didn’t
know how to mind her own damn business.
Uh-ah, she overheard someone talking about an infamous child murderer
who lived among them. Hmm, you don’t
say?! Well, it’s one thing to overhear
what women are gossiping about, but it’s a whole other ball of wax when you,
yourself, take what you’ve heard to your book club and spread the rumor even
further.
Umm hmm, Miss Thang, Joanna, was
doing her best to fit in with the other mothers since she was reintroducing
herself back to her old neighborhood.
Some of the mothers were a bit stuck up and lived lavish lifestyles
afforded by their husband’s money, whereas poor Joanna was a single mother,
working as a real estate agent, raising her little boy, Alfie. Although she made a decent salary, she didn’t
have a big house and all the perks that come along with that. It also didn’t help that her son, Alfie, was
picked on and singled out because of his mixed heritage, as if he could do a
damn thing about that. However, that was
a whole other topic in and of itself.
So now Joanna has the ladies’
ears, she begins telling them that she overheard a child murderer was living
among them. Gasp! Clutch the pearls! Say what?
Do tell us more, they urged! And
of course, when we hear something, it’s never told quite the way the original
person told it. By the time Joanna got
done with the story, she had spun that sucker out of control. Now the ladies were all the rage and couldn’t
get enough. Tell us more they demanded! What the heck was Joanna supposed to do now,
since everyone wanted to know more.
Joanna began feeling terrible for
spreading the rumor even further because what she did was start something she
couldn’t control. It’s around that time when
she receives a tweet on Twitter that causes the hair on the back of her neck to
stand on edge. Someone knows what she’s
been going around telling and are calling her out on her bull crap. And that, readers, is where our story takes
off!
Hot damn! This book was sooooo good! I could not get enough. I read this book at every single solitary
moment I had to myself. If I could sneak
away to read, you had better bet your sweet bottom, that’s exactly what this
avid reader did! Kara kept the reader on
the edge of their seat. She gave you
just enough crumbs to pull you in and then snatch some of the crumbs away to
make you want more, and then she’d dangle that carrot again until you couldn’t
stand anymore. Oooh my, did I love this
book! And the ending! Wow!
I’ve read many reviews on this
book thus far and it’s one of those stories that you’re either going to love
right away or you’re going to hate it.
There really isn’t any gray areas here.
I’ve heard this book has been compared to Gone Girl, which most of my
readers know I loved the book, but abhorred the ending, so I totally disagree with
the comparison. I can’t say any more
than that without giving a spoiler, and I do not do spoilers for anyone!
It's What I Do!
