Depending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall – Review by Tia Martel

Depending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cate Silver has a secret. 20 years ago she killed a man, but no one knew the truth. No one except her best friend Patti Thomas. Now with the case reopened, Cate is feeling the pressure of her secret and afraid of losing everything, thinks she needs to tell the truth.

Patti left at the end of the summer that year and had barely looked back. Now with Cate struggling to keep it quiet, Patti has decided that she needs to go home and help Cate.

Back in Vermont, the truth of that night threaten the friendship between two girls, now women, as evidence surfaces. Can they make it out the other side of this case?

Depending on You was a quick, entertaining read. It was very well written and you can definitely see the connection between the two friends almost immediately. This book has friendship, twists, lies, secrets, and murder. It makes you think about the friendships you have and the distance you’d be willing to go to protect the ones you love.

I think the most terrifying part about this book is the ability that situations like this can, and do, happen. I definitely recommend this book and to think through what you would do in varying situations because you never know what could happen.

Besides, what do you do when someone is depending on you?
