Kaceey’s Review:

Just a tad bit of cray! Ok… a whole lot!🤪 

Molly met Jake Danner when he was a rising rock star. Playing a gig in a local bar, Jake and Molly locked eyes and it was love at first guitar solo! But it shouldn’t be a big surprise that life with a rock star isn’t as magical as it sounds. Eventually, Molly moved on to a healthier relationship with Hunter. 

Fast-forward several years, Molly, Hunter, and their daughter are living in a quiet, exclusive community when she meets the mysterious Sabrina. They quickly become besties. Sabrina however, may have an agenda…or two.😉. And Molly’s world is about to be rocked! 

If you enjoy your thrillers with a heavy dose of over-the-top crazy, stalkerish characters this is the perfect book for you. And Sabrina is the type of character we all love to hate! 

Be prepared to clear your weekend calendar, because once you start, you won’t be putting this one down. 

My first read by this author, and plan on going back and reading her previous novel.  

A buddy read with Susanne.

Susanne’s Review:

While this was not exactly Too Good To Be True, Can’t Look Away, was somewhat entertaining, (even if it took place in a fictional Connecticut suburb (which is something I deplore!)).  

In Can’t Look Away by Carola Lovering, we get to see Molly’s life first hand, in both the past (in 2013) and the present (in 2022).

In 2013, Molly was a 23-year-old New Yorker who fell head over heels for Jake Danner, the lead singer of Danner Lane. Doomed from the start these two never got the storybook ending they were hoping for.

In 2022, Molly is married to a man named Hunter and is living in fictional Flynn Cove, Connecticut, an extremely wealthy suburb. Here, Molly quickly becomes besties with a woman named Sabrina who wants more from Molly than just friendship. Sabrina has means and motive and she will not be deterred.  

Life in Flynn Cove should be idyllic but secrets run amok in this tiny little town and Molly’s perfect little life is about to take a drastic turn.  

A CRAZY domestic suspense that kept Kaceey and me absorbed from the start. If crazy is your thang, this just might be the book for you. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Kejana Ayala at St. Martins Press for the arc.
