I don’t know that the emotional twist at the end added anything to the story. I pushed on to finish it because it was tolerable.

This was my first book by Kate Hewitt and I really did not know what to expect. I loved getting to know the two main characters, Tessa and Rebecca, with the alternating chapters. It was easy to follow but you were able to see things from two, often very different, perspectives.
The story engaged me from the start but I enjoyed the slow build up that really let you make your judgments about who you "thought" these two women were. Most of the rollercoaster ride doesn't start until you are midway through the book and I loved how it totally threw me for a loop. I enjoyed the idea that things are not always how they seem and you don't always know the issues someone is facing at first glance. There were definitely some heavy issues weaved into their storylines and this book kept me guessing until the very end. The title was perfect and truly captured what this book was all about. I definitely recommend this one and am excited to read more from Kate Hewitt.

Omg who hasn’t been envious of another person for one thing or another..
The heart break of this story and the women who are battling so many of their own issues find each other and what looks like a troubling friendship turns into an even more troubling friendship!
The dangers of envy on us, on everyone else around here.
