Do you have deep dark secrets? How far would you go to protect the ones you love?

This book is about Jessie, a mother of two who is just trying to take care of the ones that she loves. Then, one day, while she is out, she crosses paths with a young girl, Misty, who is trying to get Jessie to help her. Jessie doesn't want anything to do with this girl, yet somehow Misty tries to worm her way into Jessie's life. Causing Jessie to fear that her deepest, darkest secrets will come to light.

This book will make you laugh. It will make you cry, and it will make you think. It has all the emotions, as it takes you through Jessie's life and struggles.

The ending of this book threw me for a loop. I did not see it coming, and I definitely wasn't expecting it.

If you are looking for a really good book to read. One that has all the emotions, lots of spice, and an ending you will never forget. Then this book is for you. Check your trigger warnings, though, because there are some. This book touches on some heavy subjects, so just check your triggers.

I gave this book a five-star because I believe J.C.P. Thomas did an excellent job writing it. Her writing makes you feel as if you are actually in the story, and you can feel what the characters feel.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book to read.

Blurb

When Misty, a frail and tearful teen, grabs Jessie’s arm in a supermarket car park in a desperate plea for help, Jessie struggles to turn her away. A busy working mother juggling two teenagers, a wife, and harbouring a secret side hustle, Jessie’s orderly world is about to be shattered.

Misty quickly becomes a persistent presence, worming her way into every corner of Jessie’s life—her job, her home, and even her longest friendship with Emily. As Jessie tries to distance herself from the relentless teenager, she is drawn into a web of intrigue and deceit.

With Misty’s true intentions gradually coming to light, Jessie is forced to confront uncomfortable truths about her own life, revealing that everything she thought she knew was a carefully constructed facade.

As Jessie battles to reclaim control and expel Misty from her world, she learns the harsh reality: sometimes, three’s not just a crowd—it’s a perilous entanglement that could unravel everything she holds dear.

Thoughts

I found this book to be very interesting.

I liked the main side hustle. Parts of this book felt very relatable. Even parts of the story made me mad. Also a little confused at times. But it all came together with the twist I didn’t see coming!

Thank you so much for letting me ARC read this for you!
