The Blurb

Beautiful, creative, a little wild… Edie was the kind of girl who immediately caused a stir when she walked into your life. And she had dreams back then—but it didn’t take long for her to learn that things don’t always turn out the way you want them to.

Now, at thirty-three, Edie is working as a waitress, pregnant and alone. And when she becomes overwhelmed by the needs of her new baby and sinks into a bleak despair, she thinks that there’s no one to turn to…

But someone’s been watching Edie, waiting for the chance to prove once again what a perfect friend she can be. It’s no coincidence that Heather shows up on Edie’s doorstep, just when Edie needs her the most. So much has passed between them—so much envy, longing, and betrayal. And Edie’s about to learn a new lesson: those who have hurt us deeply—or who we have hurt—never let us go, not entirely…

My Thoughts

The phrase “Things aren´t what they always seem” has never been truer in this book. The author manages to turn you inside out, twist you back to front and then back again, after that you get put on a rollercoaster for a few hours and once done your head is spinning for a few days until you take in what has just happened over the last 304 pages.

The plot is seductively written with an addictiveness that kept me from putting it down when I should of know n better, the kids have to learn to cook one day. Why not now?

It’s a book full of dark secrets and darker characters and cliff hanger chapters and for me an unexpected ending.

Edie and Heathers story turns out kind of sad in the end and my thoughts about both characters changed with every chapter.
