Of course, I’m not going to murder her in the night. I need my laptop back first. That’s the whole point of making friends with Emily Harper, author of the hugely successful novel Diary of an Octopus. So I could get into her apartment and take back what’s mine. Emily doesn’t know who I really am. She thinks I’m her biggest fan, her new best friend who happens to need a place to stay for a few days. She doesn’t realize the laptop she found—and took—from a busy airport almost two years ago was mine. I don’t care about the laptop, just what's on it: my diary.

Not a thriller or suspenseful, but I don’t get caught up in that. It was an enjoyable listen for me about two friends from childhood to adulthood with a family secret thrown in.

The Bridesmaid
The story was drawn out. There wasn’t a mystery just a secret. Spoiler: The great Josephine whom everyone adores is a controlling hateful mother!! For a mother to cast her own son out bc he is special needs!! Says that her husband was week for let him work on the property!! Josephine Manipulates her daughter Ava to give up one of her twin baby daughters for adoption bc she has a clef pallet & will most likely have other problems . A most horrible woman (on her deathbed she tells t her tells her granddaughter that her mother gave up her twin sister that she didn’t know about) She made it sound as if her daughter wanted to give her up!!
