When You Tell - by Steena Holmes (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Old friends. New lies. Deadly consequences.

Bree Wagner has spent her life behind the scenes--as a ghostwriter, an aunt, and a woman scarred by tragedy. When her former best friend Miranda, now the wildly popular lifestyle influencer Randi F. Alexander, begs for help with her next book, Bree reluctantly agrees. It's a chance to reconnect after eighteen years of silence following a devastating accident in Amsterdam.

But just as Bree steps back into Randi's world, a viral misstep sends the influencer's career into a tailspin. While Bree tries to steer clear of the spotlight and the toxic whirlwind of cancel culture, old secrets begin to surface--ones that make her question everything she thought she knew about Miranda and their shared past.

As tensions rise and lines blur, Bree is forced to make an impossible choice--stay hidden, or risk exposing everything to protect her orphaned nephew.

When You Tell is a gripping psychological suspense about friendship, fame, and fierce love.
