BYE, BABY
Carola Lovering
Something in the way she twists has me turning,
Something in the way she writes has me hanging onto her every word.
Cassie and Billie have been friends for what feels like a lifetime. They met when they were twelve, young and impressionable. They bonded over unspeakable traumas, kept each other’s secrets, and created a world where only the two of them existed.
But time has passed, and things have changed. Recently their friendship has been strained.
Cassie has a lot of what Billie aspires to have, does what she aspires to do, is what she aspires to be. Cassie has the best apartment money can buy with million-dollar views. She is not only happily married but also has just given birth to a beautiful baby girl-Ella. She has a strong group of followers on Instagram that follow her beautiful life and every move she makes, including and importantly-Billie.
One day, when feeling particularly down about their friendship Billie makes a decision that will change their friendship and their lives forever.
This is my second experience with Lovering. The first (Can’t Look Away) was good, this one was great. I cannot wait for the next. I listened to the audiobook for this book and loved it. It is narrated by Karissa Vacker and Helen Laser, and both did an exceptional job at animating the characters, keeping a good pace and keeping me on the edge of my seat.
The writing in this novel is darker and edgier than what I have read before from Lovering. I enjoyed the storyline, and the suspense was perfect. I loved that our two main characters shared secrets, but not their lives. I thought this created an interesting and realistic dynamic between Billie and Cassie.
Have you read Carola Lovering before? If not, I recommend you start here.
Thanks to Netgalley, Macmillan Audio, and St. Martin’s Press for the advanced copies!
