Reviews

"Apsychologically complex story of an obsessive friendship" * --BCCB *
"The sensitive handling of trauma and cycles of abuse lend both a gravity and urgency to this psychological thriller. Remys dawning awareness of the reality of her situation feels true and unsettling, while alternating past and present chapters keep the tension building breathlessly until the twist ending . . . Highly recommended for fans of complex psychological thrillers." * SLJ *
