Finishing off the summer list with A Likeable Woman! Without giving too much away, the book has me until the very end…then it lost me. I loved the “mean girls turned housewives” storyline, with all the characters having secrets.
However, the ending didn’t do it for me. I don’t know if it wasn’t believable for me or if I missed something important, but it didn’t fit. BUT, was I entertained? Yes. Will I buy everything May Cobb writes? Absolutely.
Next up: my whole stack for spooky season👻
Summary: After her troublemaker mother’s mysterious death, Kira fled her wealthy Texas town and never looked back. Now, decades later, Kira is invited to an old frenemy’s vow renewal celebration Though she is reluctant to go, there are things pulling her home. . . like chilled wine and days spent by the pool . . . like sexy Jack, her childhood crush. But more important are the urgent texts from her grandmother, who says she has something for Kira. Something related to her mother’s death, something that makes it look an awful lot like murder.
When her grandmother gives Kira a memoir that her mother had been working on before she died, Kira is drawn into the past and all the sizzling secrets that come along with it. With few allies left in her gossipy country-club town, Kira turns to Jack for help. As she gets closer to discovering what—and who—might have brought about her mother’s end, it becomes clear that someone wants the past to stay buried.
And they might come after Kira next.
