Helpful Score: 4

Good thriller. Claire is married to wealthy philanthropist Rory Clark. On the surface they appear to be the perfect power couple, but behind the scenes he is manipulative and abusive. She schemes to leave him but last minute changes leave her scrambling for Plan B. She meets Eva at the airport and they switch planes and purses. Now instead of heading to Puerto Rico for a fundraiser she is traveling as Eva to Oakland. But she gets off the plan and learns the flight to Puerto Rico crashed with all passengers dead. So she moves into Eva's house and tries to figure out her next step. She is racing to do this because as the NTSB investigates they find her seat was empty . . . and her husband figures out she is still alive and is searching for her. She is trying to stay one step ahead of him. In alternating chapters we learn Eva's story leading up to the switch at the airport and what she was running from. I liked Claire's character so much more which is understandable since Eva was a criminal. I did feel sympathy for her because of her difficult childhood but that didn't justify her adult choices. I did like that both women were strong and feisty and all of the supporting female characters were also strong women. I did not feel like the Me Too movement was shoved in your face the way some of the amazon reviewers mentioned. Overall it was a good story with good twists and an ending where there was justice served.
