    About this audiobook

    How far would you go to unravel the truth?

    Seventeen-year-old Evie Parker is devastated in the wake of her father’s sudden death. But she knows something her mother doesn’t: the day of his heart attack, her dad was planning to move out. After finding his packed bags, she
    impulsively put everything away to spare her mom more heartache.

    To make matters worse, Evie soon learns the reason her father was going to leave: he had been dating his twenty-two-year-old receptionist, Bree, who is now six months pregnant with his child … Evie’s half-sibling.

    Desperate to distract herself, Evie signs up for a summer photography class, where she meets a motley crew of students, including quirky and adorable Declan. Still, Evie can’t stop thinking about the other woman. Armed with a
    telephoto lens, she caves in to her curiosity … and what starts as a little bit of spying on Bree quickly turns into an obsession. Then, when an emergency forces Evie to help Bree, she learns there’s more to the story than she ever knew.

    Alex Richards crafts a riveting and layered story about betrayal, complicated family secrets, and getting to the heart of what really matters.

      While Evie and Bree might have attended high school together, albeit with several years of age between them, their re-connection, following the death of Evie's dad and her seismic discover when she returns home before her mother from the hospital where he died, is unplanned, at first unpleasant, and uncomfortable for both. It comes about after her uncle shows up too late to attend the funeral and attempts to make up for it by calling in a favor to get her enrolled in a challenging photography class. Evie's trying to hide too much to be able to deal gracefully with everything coming at her. Things like learning to take good pictures, deal with her mother's crawl into self pity and wine bottles, her best friend's drama, now that she's back in a relationship with the girl who cheated on her the previous summer, and the hot guy in her class. She could easily turn into a hot mess rivaling her mother, and while she has several awkward moments on her way back to emotional equilibrium, her growth and insight in the process make for an extremely satisfying read.
