I really liked Pretty Revenge by Emily Liebert and was super excited to read Perfectly Famous. Look at that eye-catching cover!

Take a look at the plot:

As a mother and a famous author, Ward DeFleur has it all. She lives in a beautiful estate in picture-perfect Connecticut, along with her teenage daughter, Stevie, where nothing can go wrong. Until, one night, when Stevie is brutally murdered and Ward’s entire world is shattered. Consumed by panic and grief, Ward vows never to put pen to paper again.

Enter Bree Bennett.

Bree is a recently-divorced, former-journalist-cum-housewife, desperate to fill her days with something other than Pilates classes and grocery shopping. So she decides to start writing for the town newspaper. What begins as Bree’s effort to tell Ward’s tragic narrative turns into a fixation with finding her favorite author. Unfortunately, Ward doesn’t want to be found. Even worse, Stevie’s killer is still on the loose…

I really enjoyed this book and got into it right away from the first pages. She lays the groundwork for excellent suspense that twists and turns in many directions.

Emily’s writing is smooth and flowing and the reader is immediately swept up in the life of Bree and Ward DeFleur. Bree is convinced that she needs to tell the story of Ward who suffered from the loss of her daughter and stopped writing. What really happened on the night that Stevie died? Who was responsible? And is the killer still out there, watching and waiting?

This is a well-constructed story and written from different points of view. It kept me guessing as a good mystery/thriller should. I will absolutely be looking for whatever Emily writes next!

Due out on June 2! Order here.

Whew...I am tired from this book! There was so much going on! Old love, new love, badly behaving children oh and let’s not forget the reclusive author this all centers around. As Bree and Laura’s lives begin to intersect we realize everyone has secrets and not all secrets are determined to remain hidden. A breathless run away story that I read in 2hrs because I could not put it down!!

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC of this book. Last year I read Pretty Revenge and really enjoyed it so I was excited to see another suspense thriller coming out from Emily. The writing was fantastic and kept you evenly paced throughout the book. There was alot of information and characters chasing secrets, so it didn't really get super suspenseful until 3/4 of the way through. I do wish it would of had some more twists and turns before then and I did figure out what was going on about halfway thru but it was still a great and fun read.

This book will grab you from page 1. Ward DeFleur goes missing after her daughter is brutally murdered during a book signing.
Bree, a new divorcee, is obsessed with finding Ward. However, how far will she go to find someone who doesn’t want to be found.

The writing is flawless. I’m not sure how Emily does it. Just when you think you figured it out, you haven’t.

Whoa! Just when you think you understand it all . . .
You don't.
Emily Liebert is brilliant, as is her Perfectly Famous.

Bree is bored with her life. Newly divorced, the former journalist is looking for some excitement and purpose for her life. She begins writing for her Connecticut town’s newspaper, and decides to write about the horrific murder of Stevie DeFleur, daughter of famous author, Ward DeFleur. Ward has not written a word since her daughter’s death and Bree wants to tell the tragic story. But Ward is nowhere to be found and the killer has never been apprehended. How far will Bree go to find Ward and report the truth? This is a story where nothing is as it appears, there are ghosts lurking in every shadow and you will be spellbound until the last page and the ultimate truth

Loved, loved, loved this book! Written in a fashion that absolutely grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the end. I think Liebert has a way of writing these real life thrillers, which are intriguing, tense, chilling, original, while remaining absolutely realistic. A must read for fans of domestic drama/thriller genre, who are looking for a book that truly brings the characters to life and makes you seek the answers you are wanting to find!
Will make sure I buzz it up on all the different platforms!
