For fans of The Hunting Wives: A woman in mourning finds renewed purpose in her fake persona for an online mom group-but membership comes at a killer cost.
In the wake of losing her son, Becca also lost her marriage and her moorings. Now, work and time spent with her best friend, Lynn, are what gets her through the day. But it's a private group of moms on social media that gets her through the long nights.
Run by Karen, the holy grail of perfect wives, Mommy Wine Time is a place where women share stories, perfectly airbrushed photos, and advice disguised as humble brags. And it's where Becca pretends to be Lucy, with the help of a stock photo account. Lucy's an ideal wife and mother living a dahlia-filled life in Seattle, enjoying all the things that Becca is certain she'll never have again.
But the line between Becca's truths and Lucy's lies starts to blur when a series of bad deeds, daring games, and too many bottles of cheap chardonnay reveals something darker. Soon, what began as mere petty crimes escalates to kidnapping, assault, revenge, and murder. Still, the more Becca pretends, the more alive she feels . . .
This psychological thriller from the author of Pretty/Ugly takes the wine moms from Big Little Lies and Desperate Housewives, puts them in an online space where it's easier to hide their true identities, and then gives them even darker obsessions. Cheers!
