Life turns upside down for two sisters in Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jamie Beck’s emotional novel about how secrets and differences can break—or bind—a family.
Sisters Amanda Foster and Erin Turner have little in common except the childhood bedroom they once shared and the certainty each feels that her way of life is best. Amanda follows the rules—at the school where she works; in … school where she works; in her community; and as a picture-perfect daughter, wife, and mother-to-be. Erin follows her heart—in love and otherwise—living a bohemian lifestyle on a shoestring budget and honoring her late father’s memory with a passion for music and her fledgling bath-products business.
The sisters are content leading separate but happy lives in their hometown of Potomac Point until everything is upended by lies that force them to confront unsettling truths about their family, themselves, and each other. For sisters as different as these two, building trust doesn’t come easily—especially with one secret still between them—but it may be the only way to save their family.

Not action-packed. It reads well and has been well-edited. Personally I would prefer more details of the story events and a LOT less analysis of sibling rivalry and which one of us was mom’s/dad’s favorite.
Love, betrayal, sisterhood, family…this books has it all. And it’s fantastic. IF YOU MUST KNOW was my First Read selection and my first Jamie Beck book. It won’t be my last because I whipped through this very enjoyable and entertaining story. It was perfect. Exactly what I needed in the moment. Loved it.
