You Can Trust Me by Emma Rowley
4.0

Full of suspense and secrets, You Can Trust Me is the story of Nicky, ghost writer who is approached to help an up and coming influencer, Olivia, with her book. At first glance, Olivia looks like she has it all, but when Nicky stumbles across something on the grounds of her large home in the small village of Annersley, she realises that maybe there is more to Olivia than the perfect life that she projects on social media - a childhood tragedy that Nicky is determined to get to the bottom of.

The book was fast paced with a really well thought out plot that kept me gripped. A little over halfway through, the point of view changes to Olivia and we get to see more into her life, how social media influences her, and the aftermath of a dinner party that no one is sure to forget.

The descriptions of the house were at times chilling, and village life was just perfectly put - everyone knows everyone's business. I also noticed a few comments/observations that got me thinking about both characters, and just how much you could trust either of them, even though the story is coming from them if that makes sense.

Compelling, very clever with a real shock value conclusion, I highly recommend giving You Can Trust Me a try.

Huge thanks to Alex at @orion for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for my participation in this book tour.
