This book was an awesome read! It details how, unbeknownst to an upper-middle class woman, her home is being shared by another woman who is experiencing homelessness. 
Juno, the woman experiencing homelessness, is living in a park across the street from Winnie and her small family. Juno is accidentally trapped in Winnie’s house and before she can escape, she overhears a conversation between Winnie and her husband that exposes Winnie’s deepest secret. Juno is terminally ill and has made it her final mission to expose Winnie’s sin before she succumbs to Lupus.

This was an amazing mystery/thriller. I was hooked from the very beginning and was wondering what happened to Delilah, Shelby, and Meredith the entire time. I never saw it coming! I recommend to anyone who likes mysteries or thrillers!!

2.0

O plot twist é forçado e ruim, não tem aquela tensão construída para que haja uma revelação, ela só veio do nada, mudando completamente e desnecessariamente a personalidade de um personagem para que se encaixasse no plot twist. A história começa boa, mas o resto dela é muito forçada.
