Such a Strange Little Girl

The BRAND NEW gripping and dark psychological thriller from the BESTSELLING author of The Perfect Parents, J. A. Baker

She was always such a strange little girl.

Everyone said it. Everyone believed it. And everyone knew she was the one to fear.

Blake and Lucy were once inseparable - two girls bound by secrets, dares, and the kind of friendship that cuts deeper than blood. Until the day everything shattered. And when it did, it was easy to point the finger at the strange little girl who never quite fit, who always watched too closely.

Years later, Blake’s life is collapsing, and the only way to fix it is to confront the past she’s tried so hard to forget. She forces herself to reach out to Lucy in a letter, a first step toward redemption.

But as Blake begins to write, unsettling memories surface. Shadows she thought she’d buried twist into new shapes. And she starts to wonder:

What if the strange little girl didn’t stay little?

What if she learned to be dangerous?

And what if Lucy has been waiting—patiently, silently—for Blake to contact her… all along?

A dark and gripping thriller perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden and Riley Sager
