Ashley Elston is becoming the queen of the 'high-concept lie.' Following up on the massive success of First Lie Wins, this book takes a classic trope—the double—and grounds it in a modern story of domestic suspense. It's the kind of book you finish in two sittings because the pacing doesn't give you a choice.

For parents, this is a 'vacation read' for you, not your middle-schooler. It’s slick, it’s a bit dark, and it deals with the reality of how messy adult lives can get when secrets are the only currency people have left.
