This book is excellent. I was unable to put it down and thoroughly enjoyed it. It tells the stories of Annie and Lydia, two completely different women and their husbands whose lives intertwine and eventually collide in a most disturbing way. One couple seems to have it all, the other is living a lie and the choices that are made turn eveyone's lives upside down. It was easy to put yourself in either woman's place and wonder if you would make the same choices. I hate to get too specific or it will spoil the story, but this book is full of suspense and plot twists and things that will make you gasp out loud. It is well written and I found myself making judgements about situations, only to have more information presented later that completely changed my opinions. I liked the way it made me stop and reevaluate where I stood morally about life and love. I find myself still thinking about it weeks later. I am telling everyone I know to read this book.
