Thank you for the opportunity to read and review LITTLE DO WE KNOW.
I always enjoy Tamara's storytelling and I was really looking forward to this one. It left me with mixed feelings, many of which are impossible to discuss without spoilers, and I don't want to ruin it for other readers, so I will not be reviewing it at this time.
On the upside, isn't that the point of stories, to make us feel something?

Thank you to NetGalley and Disney-Hyperion for letting me read the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I liked this book. It was a well-crafted story about a friendship that falls apart, which both characters, Emory and Hannah regret. There were parts of their falling out, which is revealed late in the book that feel far-fetched, though. The fight is portrayed as having both Hannah and Emory being at fault throughout the novel, but when the cause is finally revealed, it's so clearly one of the girls' fault that it kind of ruined what I had just enjoyed reading. And then when that all comes out, the one character just forgives the other, even though her betrayal was so seriously unforgivable...

In spite of this, I generally enjoyed the read. Sometimes in books with multiple MCs, the characters voices can become muddled and you get confused about which character is telling the story. In this book, that doesn't happen - the character voices are distinct.

Hannah and Emory were best friends for ever so many years - that is until they had a tremendous fight and stopped speaking to each other. After several months have passed they both start to reconsider their actions but neither quite know the way back to the other. Then Emory's boyfriend is severely injured and Hannah is the one who finds him. This incident puts both girls on the trajectory back to each other. While that may be the short synopsis of the plot-line, there is much more that happens in the lives of each girl. The young ladies spend much of the time figuring out how their public selves and private selves truly mesh and how they much they are willing to sublimate themselves for the goals and aspirations of their respective families. The writing of Ms. Stone is lovely in this novel.

I love Tamara Ireland Stone and already and Little Did We Know was absolutely perfect! I love books with two perspectives and character switching chapters! You get so excited and involved in one character and then bam! time to switch! This bool will definitely be on my book club list!
