I really enjoyed this book. I loved and cried for Eve. It wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. But I couldn't put it down.

The writing was unexceptional, but the plot was very intriguing and kept me invested until the very last page.

OMG I LOVED this!!!!!

Completely different to the type of book I'd usually read,I love my chick lit and this was much darker in it's themes but I loved it.The plot changed so many times that it kept me changing my mind about who the villan was but the characters were strong and you really wanted them to pull through and get their happy endings.

Can't wait to read more by this author now!

Terrible romance. Rubbish mystery. Failed attempt to make the story deep and meaningful.

There was way too much happening, too much drama stuffed in one story, making this a mess of clichés.

Koomsom would've been able to write a better novel if she simply wrote about the troubled teenage runaway trying to make her living on the streets. But rather she tried to create mystery and a weird love triangle and got a terrible novel out of it.
