The nursery rhyme The Farmer in the Dell haunts Emily—but the final verse, “the cheese stands alone,” is no rhyme. When her best friend’s illness turns terminal, Emily has days to uncover a truth that could destroy her marriage, child, & the life she’s built around saving Lacey. #posterpit #Q #A
A dark, eerie movie poster with a shadowy background of water, tree branches, and the faint outline of a woman’s face underwater. At the top, text reads: “By Tiffany Darling.” Centered text: “She’s dying. But that’s not the scariest part… The truth is so much darker.” Below, the book title appears: Everything I Gave Her. Subtext: “Now Querying #Q.” At the bottom: “A haunting spiral into the lies we tell for love. Psychological Suspense #T. Rated #A.”
