Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny first met as college roommates and soon became inseparable, despite being as different as three women can be. Kate was beautiful, wild, wealthy, and damaged. Aubrey, on financial aid, came from a broken home, and wanted more than anything to distance herself from her past. And Jenny was a striver--brilliant, ambitious, and determined to succeed. As an unlikely friendship formed, the three of them swore they would always be there for each other. But twenty years later, one of them is standing at the edge of a bridge, and someone is urging her to jump. How did it come to this? Kate married the gorgeous party boy, Aubrey married up, and Jenny married the boy next door. But how can these three women love and hate each other? Can feelings this strong lead to murder? When one of them dies under mysterious circumstances, will everyone assume, as is often the case, that it's always the husband?

Add a CommentThe writing in this suspense was only so-so. At times it kind of reminded me of a weird blend of YA suspense and at others it modeled Liane Moriarty's domestic suspense. It just didn't do it all that well. The characters also came off as rather flat to me. Unlikable characters like those in this book need to have something about them that is interesting to pull the story a long, but these did not. I also couldn't quite figure out why the characters considered themselves to be friends and so it just made their actions that much less believable. So, would I recommend this suspense? If you're really into suspense and like to read all of it, then this is certainly not the worst out there, but there are lots of better written ones out there.
This book is cliche ridden, with stock characters, uneven narration and poor plotting. I wanted to give up on it but kept reading just to find out the ending. Don’t waste your time like I did.
A Compelling Read
Aubrey Miller, Jenny Vega, Kate Eastman are freshmen assigned roommates at Carlisle College in Belle River NH. Their economic and social status are drastically different and as 18 year olds their life on campus brings them a wide range of situations they choose to tackle together.
Now 40, they are all back living in Belle River and examining their lives and their friendship in light of new developments.
This novel weaves a strong tale into a who-done-it, keeping the suspense taunt. A surprise ending left me dazed. I loved the ending!
I was disappointed with the ending of this book. I enjoy a twist, but find it hard when the twist is not very well explained. The characters were interesting and usually well developed, so it was overall a good by-the-pool or before bed read.
i really enjoyed this book. The second part was more interesting. Great author and character
depictions.
