It’s important to have people around you that you can trust—people who care about you, support you, and always have your back. But when a wife and mother moves to a new city and comes under attack in Aggie Blum Thompson’s I Don’t Forgive You, she finds that she has no one to trust.
The story follows a suburban wife and mother on a quest to clear her name after she’s framed for murder. One night, at a neighborhood party, Allie Ross is approached by a too-friendly dad named Rob, whose flirting takes a dark turn. When he’s found dead the next morning, Allie suddenly finds herself under suspicion. The evidence points to a Tinder account and a Facebook account—neither of which Allie created. And as the police seem to get closer and closer to making an arrest, Allie races to figure out who’s impersonating her online—and why.
Allie’s world starts crumbling around her as the suburban gossip builds. She already felt like an outsider in this picture-perfect town, but when the police show up at her home—and the neighbors start talking about what really happened between Allie and Rob—she goes from being an outsider to being an outcast. Her friends and neighbors act strangely around her. Her reputation as an up-and-coming photographer is at risk. And even her husband begins to question her mental stability. Suddenly—because of someone else’s actions—Allie is suspected of murder, and she stands to lose her job, her marriage, her child…everything that matters.
The author crafts the story in a way that keeps adding one new complication, one new betrayal, on top of another until readers will be entirely caught up in Allie’s experiences—and they’ll have the same panicked, paranoid, almost claustrophobic feelings right along with her. Everyone around Allie seems just a little bit suspicious. And as more of Allie’s past comes to light, the tension and suspense only grows—and the pieces start to come together—until it all comes crashing down in the end.
I Don’t Forgive You isn’t the kind of book that will help you relax and unwind at the end of the day. Instead, it’s the kind that will keep you reading, heart pounding, holding your breath, as Allie fights to prove her innocence. But while it’s not a relaxing read, readers will definitely get caught up in the action and suspense of the story.
Listen to the review on Shelf Discovery:
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
