Losing a friend that is like your family is so painful. We’ve all lost a friend due to secrets, a misunderstanding, hurt feelings, etc. Y’all, this ending had me with baited breath.

I want suspense right there under my nose, but the heart (no pun intended) of the story to be relationships. This is seriously my favorite thing in a book. Quickly, Kimmery introduces a taste of suspense that is carried throughout The Queen of Hearts. They are both bad ass doctors & although their personalities are different, readers can see why they work so well together. Their friendship requires no explaining, no fluff & they are REAL friends- even more like sisters. So when I say that Kimmery Martin’s writing style reminds me of Liane Moriarty, it is the BIGGEST compliment. If I think about all of her books, I can picture most characters clearly, even years later. Liane keeps the drama right below the surface & it floats along with the story. Yeah, she’s big news now after the massive success of Big Little Lies & for good reason! Liane is amazing & I am Really Into her style of writing.įrom the very beginning, she hooks you in with her relatable & REAL female characters. In case you don’t know, my favorite author is Liane Moriarty.
