Do you know this person?
Kim has a marriage she’s quietly losing grip on, so when Ross—her first love who vanished without a word twenty years ago—sends a friend request out of nowhere, she tells herself it’s just closure. One short dinner and a chance to finally understand why he left.
But that one night reopens everything, exposing her family to danger. As messages turn to threats and the line between obsession and danger disappears, Kim discovers that the truth about Ross is far darker than the love story she’s been telling for twenty years.
A gripping domestic thriller full of shocking twists, obsession, and buried secrets—perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Behind Closed Doors, and The Woman in the Window.
