From the #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a timely and twisty novel of intrigue, secrets, and the transformative power of female friendship. Daisy Shoemaker struggles with sleepless nights despite her thriving cooking business, active volunteer schedule, and beautiful home in the Philadelphia suburbs. While she should feel content, her challenging teenage daughter, distant husband, and a sense of triviality in her work leave her feeling unfulfilled. Although Daisy has many acquaintances, she lacks true friends, prompting her to seek the root of her dissatisfaction. Amid her introspection, she starts receiving misdirected emails meant for Diana Starling, a woman whose email address is nearly identical to hers. While Daisy juggles carpools and dinner, Diana is busy chairing meetings and reorganizing corporations, leading a glamorous, sophisticated life that starkly contrasts Daisy's simpler one. An apology for the mix-up leads to an invitation, and the two women become friends. However, as their bond deepens, it becomes clear that their connection is not entirely coincidental. Who is this other woman, and what are her true intentions? Set against the backdrop of the manicured Main Line of Philadelphia and the wild Outer Cape, this story explores themes of survival, friendship, and confronting the future with wit and sharp observations.
