WE WERE NEVER HERE
Andrea Bartz’s twisty mystery WE WERE NEVER HERE came out this week. The book follows two friends, Emily and Kristen, on a backpacking trip in Chile, where they’re having the time of their lives...until a body turns up. The surprising and foundational plot twist: This actually isn’t the first time the two women have been entangled in a murder while traveling, and the novel explores the aftermath of the incident and the unraveling relationship between the two women. The story is juicy, well written, and littered with some truly excellent similes. And of course, it was chosen for Reese Witherspoon’s book club this month. Which, if you haven’t heard, is part of Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, now valued at $900M.
