In Reconstructing Amelia, Kate's in the middle of the biggest meeting of her career when she gets the telephone call from Grace Hall, her daughter’s exclusive private school in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Amelia has been suspended, effective immediately, and Kate must come get her daughter, now. But Kate’s stress over leaving work quickly turns to panic when she arrives at the school and finds it surrounded by police officers, fire trucks, and an ambulance. By then it’s already too late for Amelia. And for Kate. An academic overachiever despondent over getting caught cheating has jumped to her death. At least that’s the story Grace Hall tells Kate. And clouded as she is by her guilt and grief, it is the one she forces herself to believe. Until she gets an anonymous text: She didn’t jump.

When Amanda, the stunning wife of millionaire Zach Grayson, is found dead at the bottom of the stairs in their Brooklyn brownstone, Zach becomes the prime suspect. Desperate for help, he reaches out to Lizzie, a former law school classmate, hoping their past connection will sway her to defend him. Lizzie, a former U.S. Attorney with no experience in violent crime, hesitantly agrees to take on the case, despite their long separation. As she delves into Zach's defense, Lizzie finds herself immersed in the privilege and excess of Park Slope, a world that fascinates her, especially as she grapples with her own troubled marriage. The case becomes more complex when details emerge about a raucous party Zach and Amanda attended the night before her death, an event meant for wealthy parents to unwind while their children are away. This legal thriller intertwines with domestic suspense as Lizzie uncovers the truth about Amanda's life, revealing hidden struggles and the dark secrets of other couples in the neighborhood. Ultimately, Lizzie must confront her own marriage and reflect on the compromises and secrets that couples maintain to stay together.

Set in an idyllic suburban town, the narrative explores the hidden complexities beneath its seemingly perfect surface. As residents navigate their daily lives, secrets and tensions simmer, revealing the darker sides of human nature and community dynamics. The story delves into themes of conformity, isolation, and the quest for authenticity, ultimately questioning the true meaning of happiness and fulfillment in a seemingly utopian environment. Through rich character development, the book invites readers to reflect on the duality of suburban life.

The story revolves around Kate, a dedicated single mother and law firm partner, who is blindsided when she receives a call about her daughter Amelia's suspension for cheating. This incident is particularly shocking as it contradicts Amelia's reputation as an over-achiever and well-behaved student. The narrative delves into the challenges Kate faces as she seeks to uncover the truth behind her daughter's actions, exploring themes of parental expectations, integrity, and the pressures of academic success.

Everyone has those friends. Doesn’t matter how long it’s been, or how badly they’ve occasionally behaved, or how late it is when that call finally comes—you show up. No questions asked.Honestly, that’s how the five of us ended up here in the Catskills. We did have the best of intentions. Especially after what happened to Alice all those years ago, we can’t bear to think of losing anyone else. In fact, we’ll do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen. We’ll go so much farther than we ever thought we would. In the end, maybe that’s what caught up with us. That, and the fact that we’re such a complicated group—so much history and so many big personalities. Secrets, too, that can slip out at the most inopportune moments. Of course, we love each other despite all of those things. We love each other no matter what.There’s something so beautiful about that kind of unconditional love. It can turn ugly, though. Or maybe that’s just us. After all, we’ve already been through so much together. And we have so very much to hide.
