Couple things here...
-- I listened to the audiobook, and the opening chapter was the worst opening chapter I've ever read or heard. Ugh. All the writing mistakes BEGINNING writers use, thrown into the first couple paragraphs. I couldn't. Ugh ugh ugh.
-- The audiobook narrators can make or break an audiobook, and the female's voice was obnoxious, her reading over-the-top and forced. The male reader, though, was excellent. I pretty much only listened to his bits. Automatically drops 5 stars to 3 stars.
-- I get that Nicole/Veronica/Chelsea is traumatized and unstable, but I could NOT stand being in her head. Unreliable narrators have never worked for me in the first place.
-- I wanted more from the police detective storyline. I gave up caring about the car crash investigation and cared more about Wyatt and Tracy. That really didn't go anywhere.
All in all, big disappointment. But I appreciated the twists and turns, as this book did not end up where I thought it would in the end. Keeping readers surprised in a good way: bumps it up from 1 star.

Lisa Gardner is a great storyteller. I liked that Wyatt, Tessa and D.D. were all in this story.
Wow, twists and turns. About 1/3 into the book, i thought I was going to go nuts trying to figure out if Vero was real or not, but things definitely heated up. Enjoyable read.
As always with Lisa Gardner's books, enjoyed this one. Lots of twists and turns and really had to pay attention to keep up. The whole Vero thing confused me for a bit but was a good twist to the plot and I enjoyed this book!
Wahou ! Une fois de plus l'auteur m'a carrément bluffée !
