Just Between Us
Just Between Us: A Novel | Rebecca Drake
Four suburban mothers conspire to cover up a deadly crime in Just Between Us, a heart-stopping novel of suspense by Rebecca Drake. Alison, Julie, Sarah, Heather. Four friends living the suburban ideal. Their jobs are steady, their kids are healthy. Theyre as beautiful as their houses. But each of them has a dirty little secret, and hidden behind the veneer of their perfect lives is a crime and a mystery that will consume them all. Everything starts to unravel when Alison spots a nasty bruise on Heathers wrist. She shares her suspicions with Julie and Sarah, compelling all three to investigate what looks like an increasingly violent marriage. As mysterious injuries and erratic behavior mount, Heather can no longer deny the abuse, but she refuses to leave her husband. Desperate to save her, Alison and the others dread the phone call telling them that shes been killed. But when that call finally comes, its not Heather whos dead. In a moment theyll come to regret, the women must decide what lengths theyll go to in order to help a friend. Just Between Us is a thrilling glimpse into the underbelly of suburbia, where not all neighbors can be trusted, and even the closest friends keep dangerous secrets. You never really know what goes on in another persons mind, or in their marriage.

This book was on my shelf for a long time but I finally picked it up and I‘m glad I did. It was a good suburban thriller that definitely held my attention. It was told from the point of view of each character and that made it more interesting. I‘m not sure I really saw it ending the way it did so that really made it good for me. I would give this book a high recommendation. I enjoyed it.

I went into this with high hopes but got disappointed when i was barely 15 pages in. I stuck with it and found some highlights, glimmers of hope; all of which turned out to be misleading. The book was hard to follow and had unreliable story telling mixed with some unbelievable actions and characters.

I volunteered at my son‘s school today to teach an agriculture class. My five year old looked me dead in the eye and said that my footwear choices were a “bold choice”. 😂

In actual book related news: I stuck with Just Between Us, but I‘m still not sure how I feel. I‘ll finish it because mama didn‘t raise a quitter; but this is definitely at the bottom of my list.

TheDaysGoBy Awesome! I‘d had no idea the author was from Pittsburgh or that the novel was set there. Glad you had fun! It didn‘t occur to me to check the local bookstores for events - have to keep that in mind for the future 6y

This book is like an adult version of Pretty Little Liars. While kind of predictable, I loved all of the drama!

Five of my library holds came in yesterday at once. Looks like I‘m going to have a busy 14 days 🤦🏻‍♀️ The Chalk Man may have to be put back on the list to read later.

Libby1 Oh no! Look at all the 14 Day ones! 6y
LDuffN Our library allows us to have new releases for 21 days but we can't renew them. 6y
MeganAnnabell @Libby1 I know!!! I‘m half way through The Rules of Magic though and I have nothing going on this weekend so maybe I‘ll be able to get through them. 6y
MeganAnnabell @LDuffN I wish ours did! We get 14 days and usually can‘t renew them either unless there aren‘t any holds and no one is requesting it. 6y
Reviewsbylola I thought Chalk Man was pretty good but I didn‘t care for the Hoffman. 6y

Finished this in a panic because I had to know what happened but I was shaking the whole time. A bit intense at times for me, but still a good suspenseful story! I‘m glad the kitty on my lap kept me calm!

DRAMA! But I liked it 😜 I like this suburban mom friend-group story. Four friends/four POVs + a fun plot twist. Each one holds some big secret back from the other friends but is shocked to find that secrets have been kept from her. Also explores how far friends are willing to go to protect one another. This story almost feels satire-ish because of how many CRAZY decisions these gals make without regard to consequence; suspend your disbelief!

maximoffs Everyone LOVES My Best Friends Exorcism and I just couldn‘t do it 😭 6y
kamoorephoto @steverogers Oh no!! When were you born? Or is it because you don‘t like horror flicks? What was it? 6y
Marmie7 @steverogers I just thought it was "ok" and I was a teen in the 80's. You're not alone? 6y

RaimeyGallant That's a lot of books! 6y
maximoffs @kamoorephoto @Marmie7 born in 91. However, I don‘t do books about demons? especially possession and such. It‘s just a real hard no for me 😭 6y
kamoorephoto @maximoffs @Marmie7 I get it...it‘s a weird topic for sure. ‘The Exorcist‘ and movies like that are hard to watch, as well as reading books. I have to say that reading the book was pretty intense and I couldn‘t stop thinking about it! 🙀 6y
kamoorephoto @RaimeyGallant I haven‘t been feeling good a lot in the last month (I have MS), and reading was super helping me , I have to say... 6y
Marmie7 @maximoffs @kamoorephoto I'm not a fan of exorcist books or movies either. My daughter actually recommended this book(she really likes these type of books) They make me feel "uncomfortable". 6y
maximoffs @kamoorephoto @Marmie7 I‘m someone who believes evil like that exists, so I just distance myself from it in popular culture as much as I can. It makes me uncomfortable and I also hate being scared 😂 probably wasn‘t a good choice to begin with. 6y
kamoorephoto @maximoffs Yeah, sounds like it wasn‘t a good plan going in....! 😳 6y
RaimeyGallant @kamoorephoto You're my hero. :) 6y
RaimeyGallant @kamoorephoto Yep. Keep doing your hero thing. 6y
kamoorephoto @RaimeyGallant I‘ll do that 😻👊🏼💥 6y

My kind of thriller! How far would you go to help your closest women friends? If you're like me, you would do anything! But what if you were wrong about the motive and helped cover up a crime for which you could be held responsible? Just a great read with lots of twists! Out in January. Thanks to NetGalley

Grrlbrarian Meh, we all make mistakes 😂👍 7y
Alfoster @Grrlbrarian 😂😂So true! I've made my share! 7y
Grrlbrarian Plus, @Alfoster - what's a little prison time between friends. 😉😉😉 7y
