ARC Review: Her Sister’s Friends by Gia Pere

My Review: 3.5⭐

This rather long, I mean long, psychological thriller keeps you hooked by going back and forth in time, combined with the multiple point of views trying to get to the heart of Evie’s memories. As an only child I can’t fully relate to sisterhood, but holy moly still bickering at the ages of 35 and 40 like they did seemed ridiculous and, quite frankly, annoyed me. It’s like they were forever 11 and 16.
Kyle is written in a way that just makes you hate him. In turn, Digby is written in a way that just makes you love him.
I can’t believe how much discussion there was about their parents hobby. To each their own, but it seems everyone and their mother knows about it.
Finally, FINALLY, when we’re getting close to figuring out what went on it becomes a page turner. Overall, I liked it, but wish the first 75% moved at a quicker pace.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Book Blurb: Release date: November 15, 2021

She always wanted everything her big sister had.

Evie Laurent grew up in the shadow of her perfect older sister, Luna. Evie longed to be a part of the “cool kids” that Luna ran with.

Luna Laurent never saw her little sister as more than a pesky tattle-tale, which, let’s be honest, is exactly what Evie was. The kid could NOT keep a secret.

Evie is all grown up now, and living with Kyle Turner, one of the cool kids. Kyle’s rebellious antics aren’t aging well, but Evie is in denial. He was her first crush, from back when he was hotter than a pre-scandal Johnny Depp.

Evie goes against Kyle’s wishes and buys a house that feels eerily familiar. She remembers being there before, at a party.

Kyle, Luna, and the rest of the gang swear that none of them have been to the house, but they can’t explain the evidence Evie finds. She’s definitely been there. With all of them.

Now Evie’s obsessed with figuring out what happened at a house party twenty years ago, Luna’s sleeping with yet another one of her therapists, and one of the cool kids may be a stone-cold killer.

The Laurent sisters are just trying to have a Hot Girl Summer, but it’s hard to be hot when someone is trying to kill you.
