Helpful Score: 1
This novel is filled with suspense as Nina stalks and befriends an unsuspecting Emma for an undisclosed reason. Their individual points of view about their evolving relationship are well written, demonstrating their separate family dynamics and personalities with ease. I found the conclusion to be mystifying - so much energy and hatred expended on a seemingly trivial incident. There is no doubt that Harriet Lane can write very well, but the plot's ending didn't fulfill its early promise. I am grateful to LibraryThing for the opportunity to read this book as part of its Early Reviewers' program.
Emma and Nina don't know each other. They have a couple of instances where they meet. And one of them seems to be playing games about that.
Emma is a mother of two and always busy caring for both children. Nina is very sophisticated, working in the art world.
Nina seems to be pulling Emma into her life, speaking about raising children, as her daughter is in her teens. A friendship is starting to develop. So it seems.
Good writing and very interesting plot.

This book starts out interesting enough, the reader is left to wonder what exactly is going on-Two different women, one obviously is stalking the other, but why? I enjoyed when we get both women's story of the same situations. Surprisingly, they're not that different. I was greatly disappointed in the ending, *spoiler*-not sure what I was supposed to think.
