Liz continues to move forward trying to the pain  her past behind. Her protective parents have always worried and looked out for her. Liz has epilepsy which has been under control for the past two years. She starts to feel hopeful about her future especially since moving in with her fiancĂ© Ross, a 30 year old doctor. 

 

Since settling into her new home with Ross she is careful to watch her stress and nutrition. Sometimes it becomes difficult when she still feels haunted by the death of her best friend, Alice when they were 13 years old. There were many accusations as Liz was with Alice on the tracks when she was killed by a train. Because Liz experienced a seizure she never witnessed the terrible accident. Life had been difficult especially with Alice’s older sister Katherine determined to prove Liz was responsible. 

 

Just when Liz begins to settle down, Ross suggest they have a housewarming party. Liz doesn’t know many people so she tries to fit in Ross’ surgery colleagues. Liz is shocked to come face to face with the woman who traumatized her after Alice’s death. Katherine appears at the party since she became a nurse and is now working with Ross. 

 

Since I don’t believe in dropping spoilers, I can say no more except things become twisted. Even though I had a sense of the unraveling it was enjoyable to read. Of course, there are always the secrets not considered which just add to the complexity of the story. 

 

I received a complimentary digital copy of this book from Random House and NetGalley. This review is my voluntary and unbiased opinion.
