In her search, she comes to find out she didn’t even know her friend at all not even her husband knew what she would uncover. Stephaine comes face to face with lies and a hidden past that is shocking to her as well falls to a diabolical plan.

For this movie was a great story with a ton of drama and sex lies and betrayal with Anna Kendrick’s comical relief she added a layer to the story as well Blake Lively mysterious “beautiful ghost” quote from her husband in the film is spot on. The two made for an entertaining combo on screen and the mismatch of the two as friends sell the story.
Fans of crime dramas and murder mysteries will like this film. I enjoyed the humor in this film from the trailer I knew Anna would be funny but at the screening, people were not expecting the humor.
