I'd have to say this book is probably the most disturbing one I've ever read. The twists kept coming and I was hooked from middle to end. Definitely not for the faint of hearted.

I couldn’t get over the internal battle of my emotions feeling bad for Nina but also hating her. Then slowly learning the life Maggie has lead was all for Nina made me love her and feel so sorry for her. I enjoyed this book but it did take a while for me to read and felt rushed toward the end.
