Customer Reviews Summary

Absolutely brilliant, I felt so sorry for April, I had to keep reading to figure out what was going to happen next, I couldn’t put the book down, which did leave me to finishing at 3am, but it was so worth it, I did not see that twist coming at all.April is a YouTuber, she has a channel where she bakes sweet treats, and with each new episode comes a new secret tip for baking.She has a son named Bobby, he’s 7 years old, and they live in a small neighbourhood who are very close.A new neighbour moves in next door called Maria, she also has a 7 year old boy called Owen. Things have been strange for April since Maria moved in next door, she’s been getting these anonymous messages, and they seem to know some of April’s secrets, not the kind she posts on YouTube.April wants to find out who is sending her these messages, but it seems that her world is being turned upside down, friendships are ending, her marriage isn’t going well, and Bobby is losing friends as well. She has to find out who is sending these horrible messages in order to get her life back on track.Phenomenal story, very well written and keeps you hooked from page one.
