WE DID NOTHING WRONG

We Did Nothing Wrong by Hannah Jayne is a gripping, suspenseful thriller that explores the complexities of friendship, trust, and the dark secrets that can lie beneath the surface. Lifelong best friends Lia and Diana have always been considered the “good girls” of their small town. Lia is a straight-A student, a talented bassist in a band, and an aspiring scientist with a promising future, thanks to her wealthy grandfather’s support. Diana, on the other hand, is the newly crowned Miss Teen Empire Hill, a seasoned pageant competitor who exudes charm and beauty. However, their once inseparable bond has begun to unravel. Lia, about to leave for college, resents Diana’s seemingly perfect life and glamorous persona, while Diana struggles to save every penny of her pageant winnings to fund her own college education.

The cracks in their friendship deepen when Diana mysteriously disappears one morning. The police assume she ran away, but there’s a problem—Lia and Diana were supposed to meet at midnight the night before, and Diana never showed. Lia is left to piece together the fragments of their last moments together, wondering if the disappearance is connected to a series of cryptic notes she’s been receiving from a secret admirer, someone she believes could be Diana’s boyfriend.

As Lia delves deeper into the mystery of Diana’s disappearance, she uncovers unsettling truths about both her best friend and herself. Lia, who has secrets of her own, begins to realize that nothing is as it seems, and no one can be fully trusted—not even the people closest to her. The more she investigates, the more she questions everything she thought she knew about Diana, her family, and the small town they live in.

We Did Nothing Wrong is a fast-paced, psychological thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats with every twist and turn. The relationship between Lia and Diana is at the heart of the story, highlighting the complexity of friendships that can appear perfect on the outside but are far more complicated underneath. The novel also addresses the broader issue of how society treats missing girls and women, often dismissing them or blaming them for their own disappearances. Through Lia’s search for her friend, Jayne paints a haunting picture of how trust can be broken and how people are often misunderstood, even by those closest to them.

With its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and sharp exploration of friendship, jealousy, and the secrets people keep, We Did Nothing Wrong is a suspenseful, thought-provoking read that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
