What a fantastic read! I was absolutely hooked on this book in the middle of moving and all - I could not put it down. I loved the thriller/mystery aspect and the story had no moments that were dull, the suspense lasted throughout the whole book.

A story of a mom fighting with everything she has, plus more, for her son that she believes in without a shadow of doubt. I loved hearing what lengths she would take to find and share the truth. And what an ending - I will not even begin to spoil it. I couldn't. It is crazy how people are just not what they seem to be. I wonder how often people in real life present themselves one way, but at home behind closed doors are completely different.

I could go on and on about how much I loved this book. I would pass it along to anyone I walked by - I think this book would be universally enjoyed by many different kinds of readers.

Loved this book and couldn't put it down. Reminiscent of Jodi Picoult's work, with a little more edge. Looking forward to more from this new author.

The last few pages of my copy were missing!!!!!! Super-pissed at Target, because I had bought this brand new months ago and lost the receipt by this point, but I got right to the climax and it stopped mid-sentence!! I had to troll through goodreads to find out a little bit about what happened, because I don't have time to drive to target or somewhere else to read the ending for myself! >:[

I didn't think this book was well written or believable. I only finished it because I was in a reading slump and really wanted to finish any book.

Finally! I have finished this book. This took so long for me to finish compared to other books I have read. Usually, I would have finished this within a few days but I am in a slump. I feel like I would like this book and maybe given it a four star but I was just not motivated to read it.

A review also said it was a female version of John Grisham and I, for the few books I’ve read by him, am not a fan of his writing style.

This was a really good book that had me sucked in from the start. However, many of Danielle's actions left me SO angry. She broke the law so many times and it didn't bother her at all. I just wanted to slap her and I often found myself so mad I wasn't enjoying the book!!
