It’s a warm, cloudless morning on the day the envelope arrives for Daisy. Soft sunlight streams into the apartment she shares with her partner, Anderson, who is sleeping peacefully. Daisy’s fought hard for this happiness, worked her way up from being a vulnerable teenage runaway to a woman with a stable job and a loving boyfriend.
But when Daisy discovers the handwritten wedding invitation from her childhood best friend, Stella, her bright morning turns suddenly dark. The wedding is back amongst the misty woods and rolling hills of Daisy’s North Carolina hometown. The same town where she is still known as ‘the crazy one’ for telling people about the dead girl she saw that summer’s day in the woods. A girl who looked just like her, and whose body was never found.
During that fateful summer, as rumors spread that Daisy was either insane or a liar, she sought refuge in her friendship with kind and beautiful Stella. Until the day she discovered Stella’s shocking betrayal and their sweet friendship grew bitter. Now, fifteen years later, can Daisy forgive Stella, the girl she once called ‘blood sister’? And why is Stella reaching out now, after all this time?
There’s only one thing Daisy is sure of—if she wants to build a happy future, she’s going to have to finally confront the mysteries of her dark past.

Review By Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews
First, I want to thank Kelly Heard, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
The Girl I Thought I Knew by Kelly Heard has so many twists and turns within the many different storylines she wrote. This was one book where I didn’t really know where it was going or how it was going to end. The ending took me by total surprise.
One thing I loved about the book was all the many reunions between characters. Learning about their past stories and how it intertwined with the present. This was a good chunk of the story.
There was a huge mystery in this book that seemed like everyone wanted to cover up. Between this and the reunions were my favorite part of the book.
The book goes from present day to the past.
