This was a fascinating read. The main character is Cassandra Fallows who has been very successful with her first two books that were memoirs - at least she thought what she wrote was all true. Then she tried a fiction book - but that didn't go so well. She's already written about her childhood and about her two marriages so she thinks she has nothing else to write about. Then she hears a report about a crime which is compared to one that happened in her hometown of Baltimore. It involved one of Cassandra's friends from junior high who was arrested on suspicion of murdering her son. She refused to talk and spent 7 years in prison. Cassandra decides she could write an interesting book comparing the lives of her friends then with the lives they are leading today - with the murdered baby as the hook. None of her friends are very excited about being written about again. Intriguing plot.
I liked the book.
