But you were always inside with your wife, and I sat in your garden, in the shadows.
I thought you'd never know how I felt about you.
Until one night, I witnessed a terrible crime.
I wanted it to bring us closer together.
But now the secrets are tumbling out.
And they could tear everything apart...

This is my first time reading the author. The blurb really intrigued me, so I was looking forward to reading You and Me. The blurb is really quite vague and gives away very little about what the book is actually about. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. The blurb led me to read the book, but the plot is very different than the blurb led me to expect. This is another book where secrets from the past can't stay hidden forever and break free, threatening a group of people who have been friends since school. But are they really friends? Can they trust each other? How did Dickie really die? Why hasn't anyone seen Ellie for so many years? I really didn't know what was going on or where the book would lead next. This is an engaging thriller.
