From the outside Iris’s family seemed like any other, until you read Daisy’s ( Iris’s mom) diary. Daisy describes her childhood filled with daily events and things she probably didn’t want anyone else to know but she needed to get it down on paper so she would feel better. This might come to hurt her in the long run.
Sam, Iris’s stepfather died but she didn’t believe it to be from a heroin overdose, she would get to the bottom of it. Daisy had secrets she held, while telling Iris to stop investigating. There’s a history, lies and deceit waiting to be unfolded. Just when you think you have it all figured out, there’s a twist and mental health might even play a role!

Thank you NetGalley and Inkubator Books for the eARC.
Great book, it only took me 2 days to finish it, impossible to put down!
Iris is mourning the death of her much loved stepfather of a drug overdose and despite her mother's and aunt's misgivings she wants to prove he was murdered. Soon it looks like someone's out to harm her and her tearful actress mother begs her to stop. Her aunt also tells her to stop being silly and causing her mother such grief, but she continues as the threats continue.
As the suspense builds there are many twists and turns until the jaw-dropping end. I loved this book and can't recommend it highly enough!
