Just a little too…. much. ~Sheila

Meg loves her gig as an undercover gal at the local casino apprehending cheaters. She has a habit of pushing a little too far and putting herself in danger more than she should. Hooked on pain pills from a serious scare the previous year, Meg doesn’t deal with reality very well including building friendships, connections, and certainly not a love relationship.

Meg’s famous sister Haley also struggles with addictions and while in Rehab, is found dead. When Meg reads the details of Haley’s death, Meg called bull shit. They may not have been the closest of sisters, but Meg feels strongly that something is not right. So strongly in fact, that she goes undercover and has herself admitted to the same Rehad to do some internal recon. Digging into a much more sinister scenario than even Meg could have imagined, and living through it remains to be seen.

This was our January read for the Bookies Book Club. While the start of the book detailing Meg’s life was interesting – once we enter the rehab and start digging in it gets a little too far-fetched (IMO). It was engaging enough to keep me going to see what would happen but felt like it too a long long time to get there and when I did.. it fell flat.

Fun fact – 7 of the 16 of the Bookies were on the Cruise we took in January 2025. We gathered together on what would have been our Book Club Night (on the 14th) and made a live video of our thoughts on this book to put on our private Bookies Facebook page. It worked! 😀
