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 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.

I received a complimentary ARC from Author's Review Crew in exchange for an honest review.
WOW!!! This story definitely has all the feels!! If You Must Know by the talented Jamie Beck, book one in her new Potomac Point series, is a story of family, slightly dysfunctional and two sisters who are totally different; sharing a room was their only thing in common.
Amanda, the middle child, is a rule follower, people pleaser, perfect daughter, wife, and mother to be. Erin, the youngest, is a free-spirit, ruled by her heart and quite impulsive. Erin enjoys her bohemian lifestyle, honoring her late father’s memory with her passion for music. Her bath-products business is just getting off the ground and is starting to take-off.
Both sisters are happy leading separate but happy lives in their hometown, until everything is becomes chaotic when they are forced to confront disturbing facts and lies about their family, themselves, and each other. This also allows for the sisters to understand and get to know each other better, improving their relationship.
Ms. Beck writes to the soul; the soul of her characters as well as the readers. This wonderful and amazing tale was emotional, and moving, filled with wonderful dialogue, and endearing characters that is must read. I highly recommend If You Must Know to other readers.
