In my book review of ‘The Girl Across the Street’, Beth entered the main character’s life at the moment she needed her most.

Sometimes that is serendipitous, but sometimes it is something to question.

Amazon Blurb:

Her name is Beth. She came into my life when I needed her the most. We lead very different lives, but she’s the only person who understands me.

She was the only other witness to the terrible accident on the street between our homes. The only person who saw the cracks in my perfect life before I had the chance to cover them up.

It’s been so long since I’ve had a friend. Someone to talk to, to listen to, to laugh and dream with.

Beth would never do anything to hurt me.

My Review:

A friendship between two women goes horribly wrong. Beware whom you trust with your secrets.

This is the type of book I tend to gravitate toward because I like mysteries, puzzles, and figuring them out. It was a good suspense novel, but in my opinion, it wasn’t anything particularly special.

However, the author has other books I’d like to check out. They are ‘Girl, Lost’, ‘Return to Blackwater House’, ‘The Diary’, ‘In the Dark’, and ‘The Wake’.
