I had this read in a day! I honestly just couldn't put it down. This book is told over 3 parts, in both Anastasia and Jacqueline's POV. It's full of twists and turns, with both women tangled in their own web of secrets and lies, it really keeps you on the edge of your seat trying to work out who you can trust. However, i will admit that from the offset, I did not like Jacqueline at all. Honestly she was just awful and some of her secrets were slightly obvious to guess but that didn't take away any of my enjoyment as it is one hell of ride, all the way to the very last page. I am also very satisfied with that ending. I'd definitely like to read more by this author as she definitely knows how to keep you hooked.
