Welcome to my stop on the What’s Left Untold blog tour sponsored by Suzy Approved Book Tours! Thank you to Suzy for the invitation!
About the Book:
Every secret has its price.
Anna Clark and Lia Clay were unlikely best friends in high school, but their yin-and-yang personalities drew them together in a sister-like bond. Then during college, Lia inexplicably walked out on their friendship and disappeared, leaving Anna hurt, confused, and disillusioned.
Twenty years later, Anna discovers a letter Lia wrote the summer after high school—a letter that contains a cryptic postscript concealing a devastating truth. With her twenty-year high school reunion approaching, Anna moves closer to uncovering the secret in Lia’s letter and the heartbreaking consequences it set in motion.
As the layers of deceit and betrayal begin to unravel, Anna is forced to question everything she believes and come to terms with what it means to forgive the one person who hurt her in the worst way imaginable.
My Thoughts:
Anna and Lia are opposites and best friends in high school. When college hits, Lia ends the friendship and walks away, leaving Anna hurt.
It’s twenty years after high school, and Anna has an upcoming class reunion when she fins a letter from Lia written during high school that contains something hurtful. It may be the key to understanding why Lia left.
Will Anna be able to forgive the person who hurt her more than anyone else?
I had a close friend who walked away from our friendship twice, and this book hit close to home in that way. The secrets and betrayals were much, much different, however. This book was gripping and I was hooked on the story and finding out what happened.
What’s Left Untold was a compelling and surprising read.
I received a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

Thanks so much, M. I think you may have written about it, but I may be thinking of a different story about an old friend you shared on your blog. It makes this one really relatable. ❤️

Sounds like an interesting story about friendship. Even without devastating secrets I guess it might be difficult to maintain friendships you make very early in life – there is a decent risk that you grow in different directions over time (or maybe that’s just me…) 🙂

This def hits home for me, too. Losing a friend is so traumatizing. Interested to see what happened to these two friends.
