Melisa's Reviews > Just Between Us

This is a tightly written, suspenseful read about female friendship and the dynamics of relationships.

Certainly, as a born and raised Pittsburgher, my favorite part of this book was that it was written in my hometown. The city takes on a life of its own and almost becomes a singular character in the story. The details were well done and I loved reading about locations that I could picture in my head. Additionally, as a work from home mom, this one was very relatable.

This book will question how far you will go for those you love. There were times when I was screaming at the characters in this book - a lot of poor decisions were made - but when you can have that kind of a visceral response, you know you’re reading something good.

By the final chapters, my heart was racing out of my chest. I had no idea how it would conclude, but the ending was one of my favorite parts of this here book.

My one complaint is that, while the chapters were broken up from the perspectives of all four friends, I had somewhat of a difficult time keeping track of who was narrating. I believe it could have been a bit more focused on one or two characters perspectives to get a more fleshed out understanding of the story, but I do see why the author chose to tell the story this way.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
