I could not stop reading this book. The plot was perfect and the characters outstanding, especially the main character, Abby. Although I had figured out the mystery early on, it was still a gripping read and one that I did not want to put down.
This book drew me right in and held me until the end. The reader is given snippets of flashbacks to the 17 year old crime that seem bizarre but, of course, all come together in the end. An excellent read!
Reads a lot like Jodi Picoult, with deep characters and a well-drawn setting that lifts it above the somewhat obvious plot elements.
