Ratings and reviews

3.5 STARS Eve and Sarah ... two sisters, as well as best friends... both in love with the same man, Josh. Josh was a college sweetheart, but things changed when she brought him home to meet her family. Eve will never forget what happened. The story is told by both sisters ... starting with the initial meeting by Eve. Eve tells her side ... Sarah tells her side. Both would love to have sister-hood back, but things look pretty bleak for that to ever happen. Although the plot is well written, I have to confess I didn't like any of the characters. My favorite was Buster, the dog. Eve and Sarah came across as no one I would want for a friend let alone a sister. They both are a bit hypocritical and one accuses the other of the same thing she had done first. The men in their lives, except for Simon, seemed to have no redeeming qualities at all. Nonetheless, it was an interesting read. The ending (or the beginning of the story) was unpredictable. Many thanks to the author / Harper Impulse - Killer Reads / One More Chapter / Netgalley for the digital copy of this psychological suspense. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

A good book, but no surprises for me. I stayed up too late, each night, reading it. So, I'm happy with that.

very slow reading more then half way good towards the end,but overall very slow and dragged out.
