Summary:
Opal is a post-menopausal fitness guru who spends her days chasing likes and followers in an industry that worships youth. Even her glossy online persona can’t mask her checkered past.
Lilah is a shy and optimistic librarian who spends her days tending to the stacks, until she wins an unbelievable sum in the lottery. With a growing bank account and a dashing fiancé, life seems too good to be true—and it just might be.
These three women have nothing in common except for one the man who’s been lying to them all . . . and who they are now holding hostage in Marina’s basement. As this shared secret brings them closer together, other, deadlier problems come crashing into their lives. Can they put their differences aside to save themselves—and each other?
My Thoughts:
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Lilah, a librarian who won the lottery, meets her fiance through a book club. When her father tragically dies in what seems like a robbery, her fiance suggests investing in more security around the house. But when she tries to buy some books to cheer her up, her balance is much less than it should be . . .
Lilah meets Opal and Marina at a coffee shop where she learns the truth - her fiance is Opal's ex and is sleeping with Marina, not to mention stealing her lottery winnings from under her nose. The trio is determined to expose him, but Marina has had enough when he shows up to her home and shoves him down the basement stairs. The three decide to keep him hostage there until they come up with a plan. But more secrets are exposed while he is down there, and nobody is quite like they seem.
At first it was a bit difficult to keep the three stories apart, but it got easier as I kept reading. I grew to adore Lilah, Marina, and Opal throughout the plot, especially when the twists were revealed. The writing is great and the characters are well developed. I would definitely recommend giving this book a read.
My Rating: 5 stars
