about book:

“A Secret History-esque tale...All the ingredients for the perfect summer read.” —The Millions
“Captivating, thoughtful, and tense, a great read for those who enjoy psychological thrillers and complex puzzles. Highly recommended.” —New York Journal Review of Books

“It’s time to come Home. All five of you. Or else.” 

Saskia was a damaged, lonely teenager when she arrived at the lakeside commune called Home. She was entranced by the tang of sourdough starter; the midnight call of the loons; the triumph of foraging wild mushrooms from the forest floor. But most of all she was taken with Abraham, Home's charismatic leader, the North Star to Saskia and the four other teens who lived there, her best and only friends.

Two decades later, Saskia is shuttered in her Connecticut estate, estranged from the others. Her carefully walled life is torn open by threatening letters. Unless she and her former friends return to the land in rural Maine, the terrible thing they did as teenagers—their last-ditch attempt to save Home—will be revealed.

From vastly different lives, the five return to confront their blackmailer and reckon with the horror that split them apart. How far will they go to bury their secret forever?

New York Times bestselling author Miranda Beverly-Whittemore’s Fierce Little Thing is a mesmerizing story of friendship and its reckonings.

my thoughts:

Fierce Little Thing by Miranda Beverly-Whittemore is a terrific suspense-filled mystery that will shock you with its clever twists and turns. Told in dual timelines, this story will have you flipping pages faster and faster, the more you get to know these extremely unlikeable characters (that you can't help but get addicted to).  I LOVED reading all about these damaged friends who are forced to confront their past and the secret that has kept them apart all of these years. OMG!

What a thrilling read! The writing was top notch and the storyline kept me hooked all the way through. I really enjoyed trying to piece together what happened. Such a great book!
