Can you hide a secret with the whole world watching?
When an explosion rips apart a Chicago building, the lives of three women are forever altered.
A year later, Cecily is in mourning. She was supposed to be in the building that day. Instead, she stood on the street and witnessed it going down, with her husband and best friend inside. Kate, now living thousands of miles away, fled the disaster and is hoping that her past won’t catch up with her. And Franny, a young woman in search of her birth mother, watched the horror unfold on the morning news, knowing that the woman she was so desperate to reconnect with was in the building.
Now, despite the marks left by the tragedy, they all seem safe. But as its anniversary dominates the media, the memories of that terrifying morning become dangerous triggers. All these women are guarding important secrets. Just how far will they go to keep them?

my thoughts:
What a gripping story! I seriously could not stop reading it. I found myself flipping pages long after midnight - I just had to find out who was lying. Of course they all were, but why, and who was "the good liar"?
This is the story of Cecily, Kate, and Franny - three women whose lives were forever changed following an explosion that destroyed a Chicago building one year ago. Cecily lost her husband and best friend; Kate fled from Chicago that very day; and Franny lost her birth mother, a woman she had been searching for. Now Cecily and Franny are being filmed for a documentary about the aftermath of the explosion - their lies and secrets being teased out slowly by the filmmaker, Teo. Kate is a nanny in Canada, hiding from her past and her self. All three women's lives are about to intersect in ways they would never have imagined. Told from alternating points of view, we get to know each woman and learn about their lives, relationships, and truths surrounding the explosion. Their stories will shock and awe. And that is all I will say about the story - its just so good and I don't want to give away any details. Definitely check it out!
