Alice and Leo first move in together in a small, gated community (The Circle) that has secrets neither of them expected. 

The story is told from Alice’s perspective. Alice is dealing with her past, the past of The Circle, and the events happening right now. 

It is definitely a well written story that leaves you wondering what is going on and who is being honest.  I think my only issue is how annoying the main character, Alice became.  I know it was intentional but I had a hard time being empathetic with her for a bit. 

It was also fairly slow for most of the book although it does pick up occasionally. 

I thought Leo was going to have a second family or something like that with how often he is gone and how much he freaked out when Alice asked who he really is. Just two years of jail time several years ago was a bit of a let down.
