I received this book as part of the Goodreads First Reads program.

What would you do while traveling on a ferry when you think you see a young child thrown off one moving in the opposite direction? If you're Troy Chance, you dive right in and save him. Once Troy plunges in, her life will never be the same again.

Henry embarks on a page-turning thriller that holds interest right from the start. Everything is not always as it seems, but at the same time just enough information is presented to get a feeling for the ending before it develops.

Henry does a good job of not making Troy into a Mary Sue archetype. She may be our heroine, but she doesn't always necessarily do the "right" thing or go about her plans in the best or most logical ways. Even well-meaning humans have their flaws, after all.

Recently, I read an article about the reluctance of authors to utilize the Internet/computers as an everyday device in novels. One aspect that stood out to me in a positive way is the treatment of the Internet, Twitter, Craigslist, etc. throughout the novel as a useful method of research and a regular component of life.

I felt there was a bit of untapped potential in exploring the lives of Troy's many roommates, but as I see that there is a sequel on the way, perhaps some of those relationships will be developed.

Overall, an engaging and quick read that will often make one think "What would I do?" when in the same situation.
