I was so intrigued by this book from the start! I was a bit let down in the middle as I felt we weren’t going anywhere. Turns out, the ending, the epilogue’s twist most importantly, was brilliant. I liked the themes (friendship, betrayal) and I liked how Alison and Rebecca’s lives were mirrored. I still wished for more though. This author has a lot of potential.

I really enjoyed this book. I would be very interested in reading more from this author.
I love the fact it made me feel quite tense at the end. Well written and short chapters, allowed me to finish it in a short time.
Would highly recommend this to those who enjoy thrillers,  in particular lisa jewel books.
