Story
Ever since her husband’s death collided with the birth of her daughter, postpartum depression has taken hold of Veronica Shelton. She can’t sleep, can’t work, and can’t bear to touch her beautiful baby girl. Her emotional state is whispering lies in Veronica’s ear: You’re a bad mother. But not everything can be reasoned away by Veronica’s despair. Can it? After all, the break-in at her house happened. The disturbing sketches she found in her studio are real. So is the fear for her daughter’s safety — especially when Veronica comes home to a silent nursery and a missing baby.

But she's been lying to her family, her friends, and the whole world since rescue helicopters scooped her and her fellow survivor, Dave Hall, off a deserted island in the South Pacific. Missing for almost two years, the castaways are thrust into the spotlight after their rescue, becoming media darlings overnight. But they can't tell the real story--so they lie.

She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.

Publisher's Summary
A pause-resisting novel of suspense about the perfect family, and the perfect lies, by the best-selling author of When I'm Gone and The Waiting Room.
Adopted by her controlling foster mother at the age of eight, 20-year-old Tara has seen little of the outside world. Lonely, punished for the slightest offense, her only distraction comes from watching the Feely family's online videos. They're an affectionate vlogging quintet and an internet sensation. Most important, they are Tara's mental refuge. Then the opportunity arises for them to be something more. When Tara accepts an internship with the close-knit clan, they're her escape.
Daring to run away, and defying Mother's rules, Tara is welcomed into the loving fold. But the more Tara gets to know them, the more she realizes that not everything is as it seems. As secrets slowly surface, the image of the perfect family begins to crack. For Tara, it's another trap.
To claim a life of her own, she'll need a new escape plan. Because as the show's popularity explodes, reaching even more fascinated viewers, Tara can't shake the feeling that Mother is among their ranks. She's watching. She's waiting. She'll never let her go.

Beyond suspension of disbelief
I’m willing to understand that a certain amount of suspension of disbelief is required for these books. But the people in the story are so vapid and dumb it just goes beyond being able to deal with. Especially that kid Henry has got to be the biggest moron I’ve ever had the distaste to read about. Fun drinking game… Every time the word mother is used take a shot. Heck take 1/8 of a shot. You’ll be wasted by the end of chapter 1. And the ending just petered out. I kept waiting for some big reveal or exciting ending and it just kind of faded away. Definitely would not recommend

Good
I liked this book. I thought it was pretty entertaining throughout. IMO it didn’t seem to belong in the mystery/thriller genre but maybe others will disagree. I was invested in Tara/Angela and I wanted to keep listening to see how it would play out.
