Corey used to be a well known investigative reporter and is now a stay at home mom struggling with postpartum anxiety and OCD. Two girls in her town are found dead hanging by a tree leading police to think it’s a suicide. The cops and the media are saying it’s all gang related because they are Latina. Corey is on a mission to investigate this case herself to find the truth. Then a friend of Corey’s from spin class turns up dead in the same spot. Corey goes into full investigating mode and along the way starts to realize how bad her mental health is. So what happened to these girls? Were they killed and if so who was it? I really enjoyed this book. There were so many great elements to it. I was hooked immediately and didn’t want to put it down. I really appreciated how detailed and how often there were things in the book regarding her mental health. As a psych nurse it made me happy to hopefully educate people more on what mental health and bring awareness to postpartum mental health. The descriptions of the thoughts in Corey’s head about the knives, plastic bags, and her constant worry about her son dying was excellent and really helped drive home the seriousness of it. I liked the twist as I thought many times throughout the story I was right but I wasn’t. I thought the characters were developed very well so that you were able to picture them and what their personality is. I highly recommend this to readers who like a suspenseful thriller. I recommend looking up trigger warnings. This was an amazing book and I can’t wait to see what’s next

This was so good! The mystery kept me in the dge of my seat and i found it so fun to follow along! So gripping and intense. Loved it.
