Summary
No one is quite who they seem to be in this twisty， soapy， gasp-inducing sequel to Jennifer Lynn Barnes' unputdownable Little White Lies。
Think of the White Gloves like the Junior League -- by way of Skull and Bones。
Reluctant debutante Sawyer Taft joined Southern high society for one reason and one reason alone: to identify and locate her biological father。 But the answers Sawyer found during her debutante year only left her with more questions and one potentially life-ruining secret。
When her cousin Lily ropes her into pledging a mysterious， elite， and all-female secret society called the White Gloves， Sawyer soon discovers that someone in the group's ranks may have the answers she's looking for。 Things are looking up 。 。 。 until Sawyer and the White Gloves make a disturbing discovery near the family's summer home -- and uncover a twisted secret， decades in the making。

wow。 the roller coaster ride was insane but fun。 Let me tell you， the plot twists though！ There were so darn many， and they all made sense， and it was just a beautiful puzzle that all fitted together so perfectly and I am so happy right now！every body has got to read these books。 they are so amazing and although there was closure and a good ending， I still really， really， really want another one。 -m

Didn't love this one。 Went too far into soap opera territory for me。 Still enjoyed the characters overall， just not particularly the plot。 Just not for me。 Didn't love this one。 Went too far into soap opera territory for me。 Still enjoyed the characters overall， just not particularly the plot。 Just not for me。 。。。more

This was even more outlandish， outrageous， and completely unbelievable as Little White Lies。AND I LOVED IT。Seriously--these are the best books to read if you just want to get lost in a world of rich people with so many scandals that you can't even keep track of them all。 This one takes one of the scandals from the first book （who is Sawyer's dad？） and runs with it。 I mean--it's completely ridiculous where this story went and I just didn't even care because it was THAT GOOD。And here's the other t This was even more outlandish， outrageous， and completely unbelievable as Little White Lies。AND I LOVED IT。Seriously--these are the best books to read if you just want to get lost in a world of rich people with so many scandals that you can't even keep track of them all。 This one takes one of the scandals from the first book （who is Sawyer's dad？） and runs with it。 I mean--it's completely ridiculous where this story went and I just didn't even care because it was THAT GOOD。And here's the other thing: I am NOT a fan of multiple timelines。 I generally think they are unnecessary--though they obviously help drive some mystery stories。 Here Barnes gives us THREE different timelines， but she does them so well that I actually。。。liked them？ The past timeline and the future timeline are presented in very brief snippets， so instead of feeling like we're constantly being pulled between stories， we are simply fed teasers along the way （and boy， are they teasers）。I loved all the red herrings， all the drama， all the craziness。 I。 LOVED。 ALL。 OF。 IT。 。。。more

*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*It took me a while to get back into this world but once I remembered who was who， I was so invested I couldn't put the book down。 This story was wild， if I thought the plot twists， betrayal， and chaos of Little White Lies was a trip， nothing could prepare me for this story line。 I swear I spend half the book saying "what the f*ck am I reading" and I mean that in the best possible way。First off， you have the family dynamic， I won't lie， it's co *Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*It took me a while to get back into this world but once I remembered who was who， I was so invested I couldn't put the book down。 This story was wild， if I thought the plot twists， betrayal， and chaos of Little White Lies was a trip， nothing could prepare me for this story line。 I swear I spend half the book saying "what the f*ck am I reading" and I mean that in the best possible way。First off， you have the family dynamic， I won't lie， it's complicated to say the least。 It's almost like you need a family tree except that there are so many lies circling the characters that you'd be scribbling out lines and drawing new ones as each revelation is revealed。 As the last several chapters fully reveal everything and the story becomes full circle， I was left with my jaw on the ground。 I could never predict this story in my wildest dreams， and that is probably my favorite thing about Jennifer Lynn Barnes' writing， she constantly keeps me guessing！The parents were just as shocking as their children。 Wow。。。just wow。 There wasn't enough of Boone's comic relief in this story but there was Sadie-Grace's endless nervous chatter。 I adored Campbell and Sawyer teaming up。 Sawyer wasn't so much on the island of misfit toys by herself this year。 She finally learns to trust her friends and finds comfort and solace in this new world。 Then there is the romances， Lily and Walker and Sawyer and Nick。 I was 100% on the Nick and Sawyer ship in the first installment of this series and I was still on it as things concluded。 The romance is a backburn plot line to the story that I wish would have been touched upon more。 There is enough of it to entice me and interest me， but it's constantly leaving me wanting more。 The playout of the Lily and Walker relationship left me shocked and reeling。 I swear， I think I spent half this book gasping from the plot twists。The story is told in different timelines， present day， several months in the past， and then 25 years ago from the parents POV。 What a trip， these little bursts and glimpses are like connecting the dots and I lived for it。 The story does end on a more final note but I could definitely read more about this wild ride。 Another stellar read from Jennifer Lynn Barnes。 。。。more

The characters weren’t as strong in this one—probably because there was too much crazy plot taking up space。 I did enjoy the crazy plot but yeah the characters were lacking。 I needed more Sadie-Grace and Campbell， and whatever was going on with that Nick guy made like no sense。 I also could have done without the secret society stuff。 There was enough going on without it。 And also the flashbacks and flash forwards weren’t very compelling。 I guess what I’m saying is I kinda wish that this was a tr The characters weren’t as strong in this one—probably because there was too much crazy plot taking up space。 I did enjoy the crazy plot but yeah the characters were lacking。 I needed more Sadie-Grace and Campbell， and whatever was going on with that Nick guy made like no sense。 I also could have done without the secret society stuff。 There was enough going on without it。 And also the flashbacks and flash forwards weren’t very compelling。 I guess what I’m saying is I kinda wish that this was a trilogy instead of a duology so the plot was less dense and the characters I loved so much in book 1 had more time to shine。 Still good stuff though。 。。。more

I'm always a fan of the way Jennifer Lynn Barnes is able to weave a good mystery。 This one had the perfect amount of soap opera family intrigue to follow up the high society scandals of the last book。 Her Debutantes characters also feel much more developed than her most recent series， the Inheritance Games， similar worlds， but more depth。 I'm always a fan of the way Jennifer Lynn Barnes is able to weave a good mystery。 This one had the perfect amount of soap opera family intrigue to follow up the high society scandals of the last book。 Her Debutantes characters also feel much more developed than her most recent series， the Inheritance Games， similar worlds， but more depth。 。。。more

A little convoluted， but I'll take unpredictable and original over the hundreds of slow-paced， nearly identical mysteries that have gained so much clout lately。 I really liked the main character/narrator's tone and humor in this duology， and all of the most central characters were dynamic， realistic， and relatively likable。 A little convoluted， but I'll take unpredictable and original over the hundreds of slow-paced， nearly identical mysteries that have gained so much clout lately。 I really liked the main character/narrator's tone and humor in this duology， and all of the most central characters were dynamic， realistic， and relatively likable。 。。。more

These books were wild; whether that is a good or a bad thing I’m not sure。 Sawyer Taft is swept into a world of lake houses and white dresses when her grandmother tracked her down and offered her $500，000 to come and live as a debutante for nine months。 What I did enjoy about these books was the friendships that Sawyer had with Lily， Campbell， and Sadie Grace。 I wish we got to see more of them doing fun things， instead of sleuthing。 Is it possible for a book to have too many twists？ Wow these bo These books were wild; whether that is a good or a bad thing I’m not sure。 Sawyer Taft is swept into a world of lake houses and white dresses when her grandmother tracked her down and offered her $500，000 to come and live as a debutante for nine months。 What I did enjoy about these books was the friendships that Sawyer had with Lily， Campbell， and Sadie Grace。 I wish we got to see more of them doing fun things， instead of sleuthing。 Is it possible for a book to have too many twists？ Wow these books were very addicting it also took a lot of brain power to keep up with it because instead of having one major reveal it had 10！ What I really disliked was the fact that there would be a reveal and then later on in the novel there is something would happen or Sawyer would find out new information that undos the previous reveal。 It’s also very hard to keep track of who knows what; it’s a poorly paced web。Do I recommend these books？ I recommend this book in the specific case that you’re looking for a quick read， or an addictive read。 These books should definitely be read within a short span because there are so many little details that you were going to have to remember and I think the experience reading this book would be diminished if it was spread out over a long period of time。 。。。more

Did I read the second book in the series before the first？ YesWas I lost？ NoDoes the mediocre rating have anything to do with not having read the first book？ I don't think so。This was an easy little thriller/mystery/lake house fic book to read in the summer。 I felt a bit bamboozled because the secret society played a minimal role。 Also， the characters were very stagnant。 Not underdeveloped， just lifeless on the page。 Anyway， this is a book you can read in a day。 It's fast paced and full of twist Did I read the second book in the series before the first？ YesWas I lost？ NoDoes the mediocre rating have anything to do with not having read the first book？ I don't think so。This was an easy little thriller/mystery/lake house fic book to read in the summer。 I felt a bit bamboozled because the secret society played a minimal role。 Also， the characters were very stagnant。 Not underdeveloped， just lifeless on the page。 Anyway， this is a book you can read in a day。 It's fast paced and full of twists and turns。 Just， don't expect much from the premise or the writing。 。。。more

It’s a good sequel， although I was curious where things would go from the first book。 It kept me interested and wanting to see what happens next。 However the book was a little unrealistic。 There is no way all that stuff/drama/scandal would happen。 But overall made for a good story。

I mean， far-fetched doesn’t even begin to cover it， but I can’t say I wasn’t entertained。 I continue to live for the girls’ relationships with one another， and their penchant towards crime。
