I enjoyed this book. I liked the sense of never really knowing who to trust and believe. The mistrust of all of the characters made you second guess every ones motives. At times I felt it dragged a little but overall it was good.

This book was hard to get through. The characters were annoying especially the main character. The ending was a twist but it took too long to get there

By far the worst book I’ve read this year. Interesting concept, terrible execution.

This book immediately pulled me in, but then it got VERY strange.
Kelly and Mike are engaged, but he calls it off after they move to Philadelphia. Kelly is devastated, but she moves out, and moves in with a school friend, Sabrina, and Sabrina's husband, Nathan. Then it gets very weird.
Sabrina is an author, writing steamy stories. Kelly starts imagining herself as the main character in the book. She enters into a relationship with both Sabrina and Nathan. Later, she discovers some information in their home about a former woman in their lives. She begins to suspect foul play.
You will be surprised by the ending, because, really, it comes from out of left field.
