Rennie is a writer who engages in a number of self-destructive relationships. And Cherry is in a mental hospitaland has been ever since that one fateful night fifteen years ago, when a heart-wrenching betrayal and the unraveling of relationships led them to a point of no return, where their actions triggered unimaginable consequences. These secrets have torn them apart, while inextricably binding them to one another. What happened to them? And can they survive their shared history, even today?

    <body><![CDATA[I think this is an AMAZING read. I had a lot of fun reading it, but it also makes me rethink what I'm doing with my life. I love how it goes back from when they are teenagers to where the are now in their lives. It caught me from the first sentence and never let me go!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I picked this up in the Portland airport because it was on the display of books recommended by the Powell's employees.  Wow.

For instance, how did their re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4712775">more...</a>]]></body>
