Publisher Description
Beauty. Wealth. Success.
She’s got it all.
And it all should’ve been mine.
When Eleanor Hardwicke’s beloved father dies, her world is further shattered by a gut-wrenching secret: the man she’s grieving isn’t really her dad. Eleanor was the product of an affair and her biological father is still out there, living blissfully with the family he chose. With her personal life spiraling, a desperate Eleanor seeks him out, leading her to uncover another branch on her family tree—an infuriatingly enviable half sister.
Perfectly perfect Victoria has everything Eleanor could ever dream of. Loving childhood, luxury home, devoted husband. All of it stolen from Eleanor, who plans to take it back. After all, good sisters are supposed to share. And quiet little Eleanor has been waiting far too long for her turn to play.
Don’t miss Hannah Mary Mckinnon’s latest thriller, Never Coming Home, a terrifying tale of duplicity that will have you side-eyeing your spouse as you dash to the breathtaking end!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Eleanor Hardwicke, the 29-year-old narrator of this dreadful and depressing psychological thriller from McKinnon (Her Secret Son), grew up in Portland, Maine, with an emotionally abusive mother, a sister who hated her, a face and body she disliked, and a general aversion to people. Her one good relationship has been with her father, who shortly before his death reveals a secret he isn't her real father. Crushed that her father and only friend is gone, Eleanor looks up her biological father, Stan Gallinger. Stan rejects her and warns her not to get near his wife or daughter, Victoria, who's her two months' younger half-sister. Desperate to make a meaningful human connection, Eleanor worms herself into Victoria's life without revealing her true identity and, thinking they are best friends, gets pulled into Victoria's dark and vicious world with disastrous results. Despite Eleanor's emotional baggage and pitiful history, few will care about her fate. No one wins in this story, especially the reader.
