Prom Mom by Laura Lippman

 


Amber Glass was sixteen years old when she delivered a baby on a prom night. The baby died and she accepted a plea deal in a juvenile facility until she was eighteen.

She returned to her hometown twenty years later, where she 
ran across Joe Simpson, her prom date. They had become friends, and she had fallen for him. Again

Joe Simpson is a successful businessman who is happily 
married (or so he believes). Despite his explanations and unwavering ambition, he has 
never changed. It is set in COVID times. The pandemic had made people claustrophobic and affected their lives.

This story started a bit slow as we get to know these characters and their backstories. I realized the low-scoring reviews and classified it as an unconventional thriller. The book undeniably hooked me with an unexpected ending. 5 ⭐️ for me.
