Kat and Vanessa had such a beautiful friendship. They had essentially decided to fulfill the role of a family member for each other since neither of them had been lucky enough to have healthy relationships with their biological relatives. My favorite scenes were the ones that showed how these two women supported each other no matter what was going on in their lives. They obviously cared about each other quite a bit, and it showed.

I had trouble adjusting to all of the flashbacks. There were so many of them that I found it difficult to remember what was currently going on in the characters’ lives once the plot returned to the present day. As interesting as it was to see why Vanessa and Kat turned out the way they did, I would have preferred to spend more time getting to know them as adults instead of seeing what they were like as teenagers.

The plot twists were well done. I appreciated the fact that there were so few clues about what was really going on with these characters. It made the big reveal even more entertaining than it might have otherwise been. Suddenly realizing that I didn’t have everything figured out about this universe also made me want to keep reading to see what else I might be missing.

Recoveries kept me guessing until the end. This is a good choice for anyone who likes to be surprised by what they read.
