About this listen

Three friends, thirty years of shared secrets, one impulsive gesture ... and a terrible accident. When friendship goes bad, someone has to pay. For fans of Liane Moriarty and Robyn Harding.

It's New Year's Eve. Three thirty-something women—Aimee, Melinda and Lou—best friends for decades, let off sky lanterns filled with resolutions: for meaning, for freedom, for money. As the glowing paper bags float away, there's a bright flare in the distance. It could be a sign of luck—or the start of a complete nightmare that will upend their friendships, families and careers.

The day after their ceremony, the newspapers report a small plane crash—two victims pulled from the wreckage, one a young boy. Were they responsible? Aimee thinks they are, Melinda won't accept it, and Lou has problems of her own. It's a toxic recipe for guilt trips, shame, obsession, blackmail and power games.

They're not bad people. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

I loved this book. I’m not sure if it’s because I just love the way Caroline Lee narrates, but this book had me from the getgo. I also love every single one of Liane Moriarty books and this read was definitely along the same lines. Didn’t want the book to end and I’ll probably listen again

I was not a fan of this book. So many old fashioned stereotypes and the assumption that women can either be mothers or successful.

Long and generic
