The premise is intriguing and the sole reason I purchased this book. "Imagine if the next thriller you read was all about you." The main character, Catherine, finds a book in her house that she can't remember ever purchasing. Once she begins reading it, she realizes that the story sounds all too familiar -- and she has the starring role. To make matters worse, she's not the only person reading about her long-kept secrets...

So much potential with this plot, but it all fizzles out by the end. What begins with hints of murder and betrayal ends with miscommunication and self-absorption. The twists were interesting, however the story is a slow descent from about a third of the way through instead of a rise to a suspenseful climax. This mystery is really just a look at how we can fool ourselves by twisting lies until they become something we feel fits our version of truth and the consequences of believing in them.
