This is the first book I read by Nicola Marsh and boy I can’t wait to read another one by her. This books name says it all. It had everything. Secrets, lies, affairs, you name it and it had it.

This book was about a group of friends who couldn’t be more different from each other but also had a deep loyalty and love for one another. All of them had their secrets but kept it very well hidden until a new woman shows up pregnant in town. That’s when all their worlds turn upside down. They are no longer able to hide from their demons. As they say the truth will set you free.

Where do I start with this book? I just absolutely loved it. I normally don’t go for this type of book but I’m so glad I did. It all starts when a young pregnant woman shows up in town. Everyone’s secrets start coming out one by one. That was my favorite part, each chapter there was some new revelation that came out. I never knew what the next chapter would bring. I just loved how the author made these characters mesh so well together. All of them were so different from each other but still had this loyalty and friendship that every person needs and craves. The friendship these characters had was once in a lifetime and that’s what made the book so great. I can’t say enough good things about this book.

Between the plot, characters and all the twists in this book it made it an easy and fast read. I would definitely recommend it and happily give it 5 Hearts❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

An entertaining read full of unexpected surprises.

A trio of women strike an unlikely friendship, although each one is hiding a secret from the others.
They befriend a young pregnant girl, and soon a chain reaction of explosive events occur with bloody and murderous consequences.

A twisty and engaging beach read that is sure to entertain.
Thanks Netgalley, Bookouture, and author Nicola Marsh for a chance to read this book in exchange for an honest opinion.
