No matter what life throws at me, I have always been able to depend on my best friend Rachel. In nineteen years of friendship, we’ve never argued or fallen out. So, I’m wracked by guilt over my decision to keep her daughter Chloe’s pregnancy a secret. I don’t want to break Chloe’s trust but, if I don’t say anything, it could destroy my relationship with Rachel.
I hoped Chloe would find the confidence to tell her mom, but days have passed, and the guilt is eating me alive. As much as I want to support Chloe, I don’t know how much longer l can lie to my best friend. I spend every day completely gripped by a panic that sends my heart racing.
The pressure only worsens when I discover that Chloe has one more thing that she’s been hiding. Something that could destroy the perfect life I’ve worked so hard to build—the family I love so much and the career I’m so passionate about.
And then I realize that Chloe isn’t the only one with secrets. Rachel has been lying to us all…
The three of us are more entwined than ever but when the truth comes out, what will be left of our friendship and our families?
An absolutely heartbreaking story about friendship, jealousy and the damage we cause by hiding the truth. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Kate Hewitt.

First, I want to thank Jen Craven, Bookouture, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
OMG!! WOW!!! Readers who are in a reading slump you must pick up Jen Craven’s Her Daughter!! Constantly I’m asked for book suggestions that have creative storylines, fast paced, and totally twisted that you never could have seen the climatic ending! This my friends is the book you need to rush out and get, clear your schedule and dive right in. This is a must read!!! It deserves way more than 5 stars!! It is an amazing read.
Jen put a huge smile on my face as Pittsburgh, PA was the setting of this book. My sister and her family live there and love visiting there! Many of the sites and geographical landmarks she mentioned in the book I have seen, driven by, or visited! Many times I chuckled at some of the comments that were thrown in there.
Chloe’s character and her storyline will be one that will stick with me for a long time. I loved reading about her ups and downs as she navigated through her teenage years. However, never in a million years did I ever see that incredible jaw dropping climax come about! It was just earth shattering!!
Jen did an incredible job sharing what crazy busy lives mothers have juggling kids, work schedules, married life and their friendships.
There are some taboo topics in this book but if you put a trigger label on it you would ruin the story! That being said, this would be a perfect book to add to your book club. Infact, there are some perfect discussion questions in the back of the book to consider using.
