Buy this book. Now. Don’t wait.
I mean, read this review if you want to, but seriously, if you are a fan of suspenseful stories, this is the book for you.
I’m not even sure where to start with the twists in this one.
When you think you know what is happening.
You don’t.
When you think you’ve learned all of the secrets.
You haven’t.
When you think you’ve figured out all of the lies.
You’re not even close.
This book had layers upon layers of secrets, parallel story lines with similarities in timelines, and intricate relationships that may or may not be what they seem.
I can’t say enough good things about it.

However, that being said, I also am struggling to figure out how to write this review without giving away any of the plot points, because it would be a shame if readers had a heads up. This is definitely one to read without any hints.
To say that Freya and Brooke have a shaky sisterhood is an understatement. I loved the way that their issues mirrored Alice and Diana’s. It was interesting to see how the author drew the parallels but not as clearly as one would imagine.
There was also great emphasis on family loyalties and how they can be misconstrued or misplaced. The question of “does history repeat itself” came to mind a few times, but with the caveat of “do we create our own destiny by our actions.”
I know that sounds heavy, and this book is anything but that. It is crisply written, with a tight plot, and lots of twists (literally up until the very last page).
I didn’t say a lot about the plot – you can get a synopsis elsewhere. But seriously: Do. Not. Miss. This. Book.
It just rocketed towards the top of my best reads of the year.
