Now Sawyer knows who her father is doesn’t make things much easier. She can’t reveal the truth to Lily who thinks Sawyer is her cousin, because she doesn’t want to lose the best friend she’s made in this debutante world of wealth.

Sawyer has other questions to do with the choices her mother and mum’s teenage friends made way back before Sawyer was born. As the family prepares to go to their lake house for the summer, these questions still burn in Sawyer.

Something else has sparked within her too – despite her past self denying it. She can’t stop thinking of Nick, a guy that became embroiled in her family saga, and a planned take-down of a guilty member. She wants to push Nick from her mind as she has always told herself not to connect to anyone in order not to get hurt. Her heart has other ideas.

When strange items and notes appear on Sawyer, Lily and Sadie Grace’s beds (in locked homes), Sawyer is given an opportunity to find the answers she seeks on her mum’s past.

These items are invitations to a secret society called The White Gloves. Sawyer, Lily and Sadie Grace are given dares and events to attend, and asked to reveal secrets about themselves, all in order to be chosen for the White Gloves. Sawyer is only interested in membership to find answers, and to support Lily who is keen to join.

But it’s pursuing The White Gloves membership that reveals so much more than Sawyer was looking for – going all the way back through generations of her family to her grandmother Lilian Taft. Even a body is found, where a body shouldn’t be. Lily is completely broadsided by much of these revelations and Sawyer isn’t sure whether she can save her.

I would recommend having a pen and piece of paper in order to draw a family tree for this sequel to Little White Lies.

There are so many twists and shocks in this novel, I got a little confused with the family dynamics. You will have to read Little White Lies to have any chance of understanding this sequel, but I’m glad I persevered, because the reveals are momentous!

Switching between 3 time periods – 25 years before/ when the White Gloves are seeking new members in Sawyer’s family / and when Sawyer and Sadie Grace find themselves kidnapped.

Listening to this audio book was entertaining, but a family tree in front of me would’ve definitely helped as I listened.
