This was quite different than I thought it would be. Poor Anna Holman just wants to start her life over. Her father is in jail for running Ponzi schemes. When their family lived in Redbird Creek, she didn’t know he was cheating people of their savings. After he was caught and sent to jail, she put things together. Now she wants to go back to Redbird Creek and put this all behind her.
An easy read and more fun than I thought it would be. Can Anna truly put her past behind her? She deserves a fresh start, but will she escape the past? A new author for me and I look forward to more by her hand.
I received an ARC through NetGalley. It has not effected my honest review.

Anna and Gladys were polar opposite in school Anna a bully to the former. I actually feel sorry for Gladys as this is not how interview work you don't hire someone without all the facts and references. My feel about this is the author is new and the book could do with some fleshing out. At times it a drag to read through. I understand the premise but the execution needs a bit of work. I didn't feel any connection to any of the characters. On the side not the story seems to flow even if it's slow at times.

I couldn't get past the first chapter of this book. The whole premise came off as very contrived to me.. Anna shows up for an interview as events coordinator at the country club where she and her mean girl friends hung out in high school. At her interview the personnel head tells her he has serious reservations about her because something seems seriously off about her resume. But apparently he waited until the very last minute to hire someone, so he hires her over his reservations, even though there's another person waiting to be interviewed. It was so silly I just quit reading.
