Description
The highly anticipated sequel to the must-read psychological thriller The Girls I've Been (soon to be a Netflix film).
Nora O'Malley has survived . . . senior year, that is. School's over, but her life isn't, which is weird since last she checked, her murderous stepdad Raymond is finally free.
Determined to enjoy summer before her (possibly) imminent demise, Nora plans a backpacking trip with Iris and Wes. And Wes's girlfriend tags along. Amanda's nice, so it's not a huge issue. Until she gets taken. Or rather, mis-taken . . . for Nora, that is.
Now they're deep in the woods. Raymond has a hostage. Nora has no leverage. Iris is carving spears out of sticks. And Wes is building booby traps.
It'll take all of them to make it out alive.
But someone is lying. Someone is keeping secrets. And someone has to die.
Review
This is a sequel to The Girls I’ve Been which I have not read, although after reading this book I think I will! I had no trouble following this story as there are enough references to the first book dotted throughout the that you can follow along easily, and it is a story that never stops!
Nora, her girlfriend Iris, and her best friend Wes have finished high school and are going on a hiking trip. Wes’s girlfriend Amanda decides to come along at the last minute. Nora hopes this trip will be peaceful and stressful free.
But her murderous stepfather Raymond has other ideas. Nora got him arrested but he has been set free on a technicality and he wants revenge ... so it looks like there will be no peaceful holiday!
When Amanda is kidnapped by Raymond’s henchmen in the mistaken belief that she is Nora, this begins their desperate fight for survival, deep in the woods with not much help available. It will take all of their combined wits and talents to get out of this mess alive.
This is a story to read in one sitting as it will keep you on the edge of your seat. Full of mystery and intrigue, non-stop suspense with a good bit of fun and friendship, as well as some violence this is sure to be a hit. Readers 16 years and up will love this fast-paced story.
