This story, told from multiple views has the makings of a great novel.

Five best childhood friends have a secret that haunts them. Many years later, on their annual girls trip, they must face their demon.

All of the pieces were there for a riveting story. Sadly, for me, it did not hit its mark. The author has a vast vocabulary and can weave a tale. However, I felt she delved too deeply into a philosophical view, rather than keeping the pace of the story in mind.

Thank you, NetGalley for the free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

3 1/2 Stars
This novel took a bit to get into. With so many different voices it seemed like there was just a very thin tentative thread basting them together. As the story progresses that thread gets stronger and stronger. It still is a bit on the convoluted side and doesn’t mesh together as well as I would like. Although the plot line is good there are aspects that are unbelievable. Frey does a nice job with a vast number of characters. A good read, but I wish I liked it better.

I was drawn to the blanket, you can see half-lighted Heather's face.

Heather's beautiful life a husband who loves him, a charming girl, everything changes when a ball ends the life of a woman. This will trigger events that put Heather's life in jeopardy. With her friends who helped her before she tried to fix it.

A well-crafted scenario, which holds up, the character of Heather tying. A captivating, engaging story full of suspense and twists. I recommend this book.
