•What did I think of this book?
How much do we really know about who we call friends? And who tells their story? What happens if you're left holding the secrets? That is what happens to Leah Stevens in a new town at the beginning of her starting over. Emmy, her roommate is missing, and things are happening to close to home to be a coincide.. All roads lead back to Leah, not Emmy, and no one believes Emmy is real. No paper trail, no personal effects, nothing in her name other than Leah's word. She has a past herself she rather keep hidden.. I would recommend this book.

The characters' intentions drove the story, though I wish a few characters had a bit more of a developed backstory and convictions than mainly Leah. I also wish the credibility of the police was questioned a little more, I wasn't a huge fan of the reader taking for granted that the police investigation was conducted properly, with just a few small slips that aided them in the long run. There were certainly complex relationships with police embedded in the story, but the local police force seemed too straightforward and morally upright to me. I was waiting to find out that it was one of the officers who was stalking Leah or was dating Emmy but that line was never crossed.
In the beginning I didn't understand why this book was about roommates when it would have been more convincing if the relationship were lovers or family members. I understood by the end why the structure was this way though and I was able to appreciate the dynamic a little more.
Overall, I found it the perfect page turner that covered a lot of ground. I tore through this book in a few days, it created a great story to jump into and get absorbed into. I'll definitely read more of Miranda's books soon.
