Synopsis

Named most anticipated book of the year by Cosmopolitan, Woman's Day, She Reads, and Sassy Sarah Reads.From the New York Times bestselling author of A Simple Favor comes an electrifying domestic thriller of how one woman’s life is turned upside down when her brother brings his new girlfriend to visit—and no one is telling the truth about who they really are.Charlotte has everything in life that she ever could have hoped for: a doting, artistic husband, a small-but-thriving flower shop, and her sweet, smart five-year-old daughter, Daisy. Her relationship with her mother might be strained, but the distance between them helps. And her younger brother Rocco may have horrible taste in women, but when he introduces his new girlfriend to Charlotte and her family, they are cautiously optimistic that she could be The One. Daisy seems to love Ruth, and she can’t be any worse than the klepto Rocco brought home the last time. At least, that’s what Charlotte keeps telling herself. But as Rocco and Ruth’s relationship becomes more serious, Ruth’s apparent obsession with Daisy grows more obvious. Then Daisy is kidnapped, and Charlotte is convinced there’s only one person who could have taken her.Ruth has never had much, but now she’s finally on the verge of having everything she’s ever dreamed of. A stable job at a start-up company, a rakish, handsome boyfriend with whom she falls more in love with every day—and a chance at the happy family she’s always wanted, adorable niece included. The only obstacle standing in her way is her boyfriend’s sister Charlotte, whose attitude swerves between politely cold and outright hostile. Rebuffing Ruth’s every attempt to build a friendship with her and Daisy, Charlotte watches over her daughter with a desperate protectiveness that sends chills down Ruth’s spine. Ruth knows that Charlotte has a deeply-buried secret, the only question is: what? A surprise outing with Daisy could be the key to finding out, and Ruth knows she must take the chance while she has it—for everyone’s sake.As the two women follow each other down a chilling rabbit hole, unearthing winding paths of deceit, lies, and trauma, a family and a future will be completely—and irrevocably—shattered.From its very first page, Something She’s Not Telling Us takes hold of readers’ imagination in a harrowing, unforgettable thriller that dives deep into the domestic psyche and asks the question: Is anyone ever really who they say they are…?

Goodreads review by Chelsea

Something She's Not Telling Us is a lightning fast read, and if you enjoy salacious family dramas then this book might be for you. As per the author's typical shtick, most of the characters are unlikable, and the abrupt ending will make or break the experience for readers of this genre. My major com......more

Fast-paced and addictive. All I could think while I was reading this book is how crazy Charlotte would’ve acted during this pandemic. The girl would seriously be Cloroxoing the Clorox. She was seriously one of the most paranoid, overprotective, panicked people I’ve ever read about. The book starts o......more

The curse of the 2nd book strikes again! This book was a mess. I loved A Simple Favor, but Something She's Not Telling Us was a big letdown. The story didn't make a whole lot of sense, there was no suspense or build-up, the characters were all awful (not in a villain type of way, just bad). The whole......more
