Cassandra and Jane live a life of glamorous perfection, and always get what they desire. When they invite Shay into their circle, everything seems to get better. Shay would die for them to like her. She may have to.

*My Review* 

This was definitely not one of my favorite books by the amazing Hendrick & Pekkanen team. It was still a great suspense like others they've teamed up, but the main character Shay made me a little annoyed. The events that play out between Shay and the other girls are clear enough so that you know what is going on and you are able to follow along without issues. I just couldn't stand the main character which is an issue in any book. I found myself constantly asking "really" and "are you serious" during my reading. I know that Shay's personality is why she did the things like she did, but I kept wishing she'd just grow up and get a backbone. Ouch, was that too harsh?

*Review*

Another book by this team that I was unable to put down once I started reading. The chapters go back and forth between the two main characters, Jessica and Dr. Shields, in the first person. They are short which is one of the reason is was so easy and fast to read. The other reason was the suspense. 

Jessica is your average girl, living an average life while working an average job. Like many of us, she has a dark secret that she's never shared with anyone, that is, until she meet Dr. Shields.

After sneaking into a study to earn a bit of cash on the side, Jessica eventually realizes that nothing in life is free or easy. What starts off as just a an anonymous survey on morals and ethics turns into a test on her own. Jessica doesn't understand the tests that Dr. Shields asks of her, but she does know that the extra money would really help her parents out.

How many secrets would you share with a stranger? How many tests to you do, that go against your beliefs, for a little extra money? And the biggest questions of all, how do you get out a situation where there seems to be no out in sight?

I received this in my Book Of The Month subscription box for May. 

It was also voted for the book of the month in Read N' Reviews Facebook Group. 

It will be discussed later this month. Check back for a link to the discussion.

Inside cover excerpt.

The just over one page prologue made me say "whoa" and I was quite excited to continue. I began reading about a woman who was very bitter about her marriage falling apart due to her younger replacement. She drinks to try and help relieve some of the pain of loosing her husband. I previously read The Girl On The Train as well as The Woman In The Window and was wondering if it was going to be just another book whose main character was a drunk and made up stories for attention. Turns out the woman did drink, but wasn't a drunk and who made up stories, but not for the reasons you'd think.

I find this book a bit hard to really review without giving away anything. I didn't find it as suspenseful as I thought I was going to. The ex-wife always seemed to lack a backbone. Instead of speaking her mind she'd either be shut down by someone else or not say anything. She made me quite annoyed throughout the book. Both of the women were a bit annoying with how much control they let Richard have over both their lives. I also thought that maybe there was too much effort put into "dealing" with Richard. I get that the ex-wife was trying to right a wrong, but I think she should've just moved on. What he did was not right, but it wasn't as bad as it seemed it was going to be. Then again, if she'd just moved on there wouldn't have been a book either.

The cover tells you not to assume anything and you really shouldn't. It did make me stop halfway through and wonder if I had even been paying attention to what I was reading.
