How could anyone not take notice of such brilliant writing? I find more and more that as I read each chapter my mind was filled with empathy and eagerness for the outcome. And even being attentive, does not guarantee that you will solve all the twists or the unexpected ending. This is not a novel to breeze through - to follow you must be attentive, because if you are not you will be totally lost. It is not often that an author can so totally confuse the majority of their readers.

There is scuttle-butt that there is a follow up novel in the works, but that may just be rumor from those who hope to have the author clear up the twists of the ending. And I think that is what the author wanted. I have my own theory, but I am not 100 sure. One thing that needs to be determined is who is Amber, who is Taylor, who is Claire? Who is evil? The story is told in 3 part Amber before a bad accident, Amber during a coma - or is it a coma?, and the third part is from childhood journals. Amber tells us from the get-go that she lies, so we know we are going to face an unreliable narrator. There is no one you can trust in this novel. And with each page I turned it became more confusing and less clear - but I could not put it down! Just when I thought I might be beginning to understand - ZAP! - another twist that took me right back to total oblivion. OMG! What did I just read? This book pushed me to keep turning pages. I enjoyed reading this book and believe that anyone who likes suspenseful stories would also like it. In the near past, things have happened that makes Amber distrust her husband and she is afraid that her husband is in love with Claire.Īnother complication for Amber is an ex-suitor who works at the hospital has begun visiting her. Her sister is married with twin children. Amber is married but has been unable to have children. Despite the jealousy, they are very close and love each other. Her memories are of extreme jealousy between herself and her sister Claire. The author is very good at building suspense and each time we have a time shift, we learn and turn the pages faster. We learn what has gone before from her childhood memories and diary entries and alternately from the preceding week.

She cannot remember how the accident happened but she remembers her childhood and up to the time of the wreck. She can hear what is going on around her. She is paralyzed, cannot move nor open her eyes. Amber was injured in a vehicle wreck which leaves her in a coma.
