This is one of the cleverest and twistiest books I’ve read in a while. I loved every minute.

That was a fun game of cat and mouse. Some of the twists I figured out and some surprised me. There were times that the timeline switching back and forth annoyed me but stick with it. It helps the story come together. (Language: Some strong)

I was a little nervous in the beginning of the story when I thought it was another poor woman scamming a rich man story, but it became so much more with every new chapter. The reader flips between the protagonist’s past and current timelines to gain more information on who she really is.

It was a selection for my book club and I’m so glad I was introduced to it without any upfront knowledge of what was in store. A fast-paced mystery thriller that kept me hooked from the beginning.

Looking forward to the TV or movie adaptation.
