I bought this book because I have read and enjoyed a book from Simone St. James in the past. I really enjoyed this one. I loved how the story went back and forth between the two narrators but how they were living in such parallels. I also liked how strong both of the girls were, in different ways. They weren't too perfect or too flawed and I appreciate that. I like that there was closure for everyone by the end of the book and how the author chose to wrap things up. I predicted some things but was also surprised by others. I wish we could have seen more of Heather and Nick and learned a little more about them, especially Heather. Otherwise, I have no complaints.
