Mă aflu între negare și acceptare cu acestă carte. E vai și amar ca și thriller, dar autoarea scrie fain și am citit-o cu interes deși nu s-a întâmplat nimic vreo 65% din carte.

Bun, hai să vă zic marele plot. În tinerețe, Sylvie și Tess au fost martore într-un proces de condamnare a unei colege din liceu pentru uciderea iubitului lui Sylvie. În prezent, mulți ani mai târziu, Tess, diagnosticată cu cancer încearcă să o convingă pe Sylvie să ia legătura cu acea colegă să clarifice lucrurile cu privire la mărturiile lor. Clar e ceva suspect acolo.

Povestea se plimbă din prezent în trecut și sunt tare mândră de mine că l-am ghicit pe un personaj ca fiind un impostor să zic așa. A mai fost o surpriză acolo neprevăzută dar prea micuță ca să mă mai mire.

Prietenia dintre Tess și Sylvie e mai toxică decât cuvântul toxic, nu mi-a plăcut deloc interacțiunile dintre ele. Nu doresc nimănui să aibă o asemenea prietenie.
Cum Sylvie este cea care narează, gândurile ei au fost tare duse cu pluta uneori, chiar nu o înțelegeam ce e cu ea.

Nu e un thriller oribil dar nici bun. Deși are o idee ok la bază, execuția lasă de dorit. De data asta sigur nu sunt pretențiile mele după sute de thrillere citite, chiar e slăbuță cartea asta.

I have never been so mad whilst reading a book....

I really wanted to like this book, but unfortunately it was a miss for me. 

I struggled to connect with any of the characters and quite frankly they all wound me up and annoyed me. There was something about them all that felt quite robotic and I couldn't get my brain to imagine them as real people. On top of that, I thought that the plot was quite predictable. I had a strong feeling about where the story was going from very early on, but carried on because I was hoping I was going to be wow'd by a plot twist. So it was disappointing when my prediction turned out to be right. 

The good thing about this book was that although it was slow paced, it was a quick read and I was able to able to pass the time by getting through it quickly. Not every book is for every person, and that's completely ok.
