Eleanor is the brilliant mind behind the innovative, empowering shared workspace, The Herd. Her best friends Mikki and Hanna by her side in this exciting endeavor. Then Katie, Hanna's younger sister joins the Herd after being in Michigan for a year and she has some of her own secrets. With a huge announcement coming in a few days, Eleanor is definitely the Queen Bee. Things are going so well for all of them, but just hours before the big announcement Eleanor has gone missing. Her friends are desperate to find her, not just because they are friends, but for the future of The Herd. As they start digging into Eleanor they realize that they may not know their friend as well as they thought they did.
The Herd was a fresh new take on girl power and the intricacies of female friendships. And what happens when that much power goes too far. The book is told from the alternating voices of Hanna and Katie. Two sisters with very different perspectives on family, friends, and life in general. I didn't really have a favorite character, but right from the beginning I didn't really like Eleanor. There was just something about her that rubbed me the wrong way. It boils down to the fact that women are often the meanest to other women. No matter how much they profess to be empowering feminists, they can be downright nasty. Knowing that I wasn't shocked by the big reveal. Disappointed, but not shocked. -CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - The Herd was a fast-paced thriller that kept you guessing right up to the very end.
