Recovering
alcoholics become a group of friends as they battle their inner-demons along
with old skeletons hidden in the closet. So much baggage and regret lie beneath
the surface of every character. The main character, Traci, someone who barely
has her own life together and now has to contend with a boyfriend’s fidelity
and a new pregnancy, tells the whole story, which seems to center on her
friend, Olivia. Why did she have a gun? And why was she so angry? It turns out
Olivia was hiding a lot more than what she shared at AA. Then when a murder
strikes, Traci must contend with a heart-wrenching decision. Should she come
forth with what she knows or lie to protect a friend? And could somebody else
know? Who keeps sending her these mysterious texts?
Story was
simple, yet compelling. You want to see how the characters turn out. For the
most part, the story was too quick; the plot moved so expeditiously from one
twist to another, which made for a good mystery thriller, but I didn’t get a
chance to soak any of it in. It should’ve been paced better, I think.
But,
overall, it was good.
My rating: 4 stars
