"Rebecca Drake masterfully blends secrets, lies, and the
subjectivity of truth into a spellbinding reading experience"

"A gripping domestic thriller about a parent's worst fear."

Criminal Element Interview about Only Ever You
"Powered by breakneck pacing, an impressively knotty storyline,
and a cast of authentic characters, Only Ever You is one of those rare
stay-up-all-night-until-your-eyes-bleed novels."
​
Only Ever You - Motherly
"Six Books that Hit Differently When You're a Mom"
"Packed with can't-put-down tension... and touches on society's
