I'm a guy, and therefore not a fan of "chic-lit", but I got this book in a Chic-lit Storybundle as part of a "mind-widening" exercise. For some reason I no longer remember, with nothing to go on but the names of six female authors I'd never heard of and the titles, I chose this one over the others.
I began, expecting to take a bathroom break (two fingers down the throat) before the end of the first chapter, and move on to the next and repeat the process, but one whole day and all 14 chapters late...more

Cons:
When you are half-way through a book and you're still asking the question, "when is the story going to start" there is a problem. The first couple chapters are supposed to hook me as a reader and make me want to continue. Apparently Lief has other ideas. Reading this book is like watching someone play the Sims. You get to watch the characters live their lives but have no control over what they do. At least if you are the one *playing* the Sims there is a sense of interactivity, but watching...more

I need to read another before I formulate an opinion about her as an author for def but this one was a perfectly enjoyable little mystery. You know by like page 40 who the murderer is but the piecing together of elements is engaging enough that you're not like OH FOR HEAVENS SAKES I KNOW WHO THE MURDERER IS AND IT'S ONLY PAGE GD 40. I am super judgy about books when I feel like the author feels like a sniffy snoot and super generous about them when I feel like the author is just like "oh hey che...more
2/5 or maybe a 2.5/5. It was ok. Average. The last half of the book certainly went at a better pace than the first half and the twist in the ending was pleasantly unexpected since everything else up to that point was more predictable than the ending of Romeo and Juliet.
The slow build up in the beginning was off-putting however and the main character wasn't always believable. She over reacted to small, more neutral things yet seemed often unfazed by the more horrifying events... Her personality...more

I gave this two stars only because while the plot itself was good; the main character was too wishy washy and totally weak. Also, there was way too much breast milk, breast pumping, milk dropping, my baby is missing omg my life is over, and did I mention the breast milk dropping? Seriously, I just skimmed over much of the final1/4 because I just wanted to find out whodunnit. Lief's next book better not have ANY babies or new moms in it.
Annie leaves her husband Bobby as she believes he is having an affair. She goes to her twin sisters house. Here her life falls apart when she is arrested for grand larceny and internet fraud. Once this is cleared up she thinks things will get better however they get much worse when she is arrested for murder. Read this book to find out who the real murderer is.
I wanted to really believe that I didn't know who-done-it, but I did, WAY too early. I didn't like some of the really long descriptions that didn't contribute to the story. I really didn't like the main character, but I wanted to. She just whined and worried a little too much instead of doing something productive.

I couldn't relate to Annie at all. There is no build up to the separation with her husband. Chapter one, first page - Annie is packed and leaving. You don't have a chance to get acquainted with her or her situation. How can you sympathize with her when you don't know what he did. This made it tough for me to get into this story. I instantly felt sorry for the husband and thought Annie was just being an over-reactive bitch. And I didn't like her twin sister, Julie a bit. She just seemed shady and...more
good read. i was a little frustrated with the main charcter. she was a little wimpy!! i like the other heroine's who take matters into their own hands!!
but overall a good read.
but overall a good read.
I enjoyed this book also. I think Katia Lief is a great Author, her books are intriguing and are often pageturners and hard to put down. I really like to read them, and recommmend them!
Eh. I have loved all of her other books, but this one just seemed "rushed". And the things that happen in it (as far as emotions of the main character) don't seem even remotely realistic.
I kept saying "what???" as I read this book. Even over a month later, my feelings for this book can be summed up in three letters: WTF!
Good plot and interesting developments. Some were predictable though. The ending was befitting the character of the protagonist.
O my, what a twisty conundrum this was. I'm still shivering.
nice twist....you may think you saw it coming but....
I didn't enjoy this as much as her other novels.
I thought this was a good book. it was a nice easy read but with many twists and turns that kept you on edge and intrested the hole time.

Didn't see that ending coming!!
Couldn't put this book down. It would have had five stars if it wasn't for the disappointing ending.
great book
Wow. Twists & turns from beginning to end! Loved it!
suprising ending,great book! suspenseful
A good read with the suspense I have come to expect from this author.
This book is about the relationship of twins and a husband. Lots of twists and turns and a surprising ending. I personally did not like the ending and having said that, I do not know given the plot how else it could have ended. I would have finished the book sooner however work and sleep interfered. A real page turner.
I really like Kate Pepper books, but in the first chapter I thought I had this book all figured out. I made myself keep reading to see if I was right. For the most part I was, but some of the book still kept me interested. Disappointed in this book though.
Didn't really grab my interest.... I'm gonna give up on this one, but will try one of her other three books at a later date. From the other reviews, it doesn't sound like I'll be missing much.
Inventive, fresh, and fast paced. Kept me guessing til the end.
One of the worst books I've ever read. It doesn't deserve the one star!
Story is predictable and cheesy. The characters are flat. This book is not worth 99 cents I paid for!

The first thing I ever wrote that received any notice was a one page story for my third grade English teacher. I don't recall what the assignment was, but I somehow found myself writing about a woman at a dinner party who suddenly realizes her teeth are invisible. She sits there, wedged between two chattering guests, wondering how she will eat, how she will talk, and generally how she will get out...more
