Pretend She's Here: The biggest lies come from the darkest places.

Written by Luanne Rice

Narrated by Caitlin Davies

Emily Lonergan's best friend died last year. And Emily hasn't stopped grieving. Lizzie Porter was lively, loud, and fun — Emily's better half. Emily can't accept that she's gone.

When Lizzie's parents and her sister come back to town to visit, Emily's heartened to see them. The Porters understand her pain. They miss Lizzie desperately, too. Desperately enough to do something crazy. Something unthinkable. Suddenly, Emily's life is hurtling toward a very dark place — and she's not sure she'll ever be able to return to what she once knew was real.

From New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice comes a breathless, unputdownable story of suspense, secrets — and the strength that love gives us to survive even the most shocking of circumstances.

I just absolutely loved this book. There was a twist in every corner. I was so scared to think that Emily almost died from being stacked by a knife. And I think Luanne Rice did a fantastic job of writing this book.
