I Don’t Forgive You

An outstanding debut novel by Aggie Blum Thompson, I Don’t Forgive You tells the story of a woman named Alexis whose past comes back to haunt her. Many years ago, when she was a minor, Alexis slept with her teacher, Paul. Pictures of a young and naked “Sexy Lexi” were taken and Paul ended up getting in trouble for sleeping with his student. Fast forward and Alexis is now Allie, an aspiring celebrity photographer. She is married to a man named Mark, a lawyer, and they have a five-year-old son named Cole. Allie attends a neighborhood party and one of the dads at the party pushes himself on her. She ends up escaping his grip. The dad then ends up being murdered. From there, things spiral out of control in Allie’s world. A fake Tinder account, a fake Facebook account, and more surface as Allie’s whole life falls apart.

This book has a fantastic plot featuring all the nasty goodness of a group of grown-up Mean Girls and a slightly unreliable main character. Who can Allie trust? Who is out to get her? This book will not disappoint the fans of domestic thrillers and suspense novels.
