Amber is living her life barely scraping by she wants to thrive. She decides to befriend Daphne for the sole purpose of stealing her husband and becoming rich. Amber is a woman that is willing to do whatever it takes to get the life she wants. 

Daphne appears to have the perfect life. A husband that dotes on her. Two daughters that she gets to spend all the time she wants with. She lost her sister to MS as a child and has worked tirelessly to put together a charity that helps those that need help with their loved ones. 

The book is told in 2 halves. The first half is in Amber's POV and the second in Daphne's POV. I enjoyed Daphne's POV more than Ambers, although Daphne's storyline was much less believable.
