My Summer Darlings

“[F]ull of big houses, teenage attitudes, and snarky housewives, and would be the perfect companion to a beach vacation."  -  San Francisco Book Review

A woman in the forest thinks she’s going to die. I know he’s coming back for me. Jen Hansen, Kittie Spears, and Cynthia Nichols have been friends since childhood. They are now approaching forty and their lives have changed, but their insular East Texas town has not. They stay sane by drinking wine in the afternoons, dishing about other women in the neighbourhood, and bonding over the heartache of their own encroaching middle age and raising ungrateful teens. Then Will Harding comes to town.

"Though suspenseful hairpin twists lead to a smashing if far-fetched finale, the numerous mutual betrayals of Jen by Kittie and Cynthia — both of whom pretend they are trying to advance their single friend’s chances with Will while secretly pursuing him themselves — leave a somewhat bitter aftertaste. Those looking for a beach-ready escape, though, will be satisfied."   -   Victoria Sanders

Mysterious and charming, he seems like the answer to each woman’s prayers. But what they’ll uncover is far more sinister and deadly than any of them could have ever imagined.
