Do you believe in second chances? Do you believe that the truth, no matter how hidden, will eventually be revealed? Ten years ago Emily fell to her death from the roof of the sorority house where she lived with her three best friends. Her death was ruled a suicide and the surviving friends & family were left to wonder why a bright, vibrant young woman would have killed herself. That is, until a novel emerges which eerily mirrors the lives of the four friends and places the blame for Emily's death at the feet of her roommate Natalie. The women are reuinited by their struggle to deal with the guilt over Emily's death they've tried to hide from and find out what really happened that night.
Much like Nora Roberts, Barbara Freethy strikes the balance between romance and suspense. She keeps you rooting for her characters, while allowing in a little doubt...could one of the girls have wanted Emily dead? Ms. Freethy's characters are true to life, each dealing with her own guilt in a different way. While each girl has her faults, you're left sympathizing with them and watching as their friendships are rekindled. I was reminded how amazing & rare it is to have friendships that last a lifetime.
