Life didn’t turn out the way Kiki Lowenstein planned—but that’s exactly what makes her story irresistible. One impulsive night in college changed everything: a frat party, a charming guy, and a future rewritten overnight. George Lowenstein stepped up and married her, but years later, Kiki is still carrying the weight of that beginning. Now a young mom in a picture-perfect suburban home, she has everything she’s “supposed” to want… except the one thing she craves most: connection. Determined to reinvent her life, Kiki launches “Operation Make New Friends” in her upscale St. Louis neighborhood. But fitting in proves harder than expected—and far more dangerous. When a neighbor’s suspicious accident turns deadly, Kiki’s good intentions land her in the worst possible spotlight: as the prime suspect.
