A woman is forced to question her own identity in this riveting and emotionally charged thriller by the blockbuster best-selling author of The Good Girl, Mary Kubica.

Jessie Sloane is on the path to rebuilding her life after years of caring for her ailing mother. She rents a new apartment and applies for college. But when the college informs her that her social security number has raised a red flag, Jessie discovers a shocking detail that causes her to doubt everything she’s ever known.

Finding herself suddenly at the center of a bizarre mystery, Jessie tumbles down a rabbit hole, which is only exacerbated by grief and a relentless lack of sleep. As days pass and the insomnia worsens, it plays with Jessie’s mind. Her judgment is blurred; her thoughts are hampered by fatigue. Jessie begins to see things until she can no longer tell the difference between what’s real and what she’s only imagined.

Meanwhile, 20 years earlier and 250 miles away, another woman’s split-second decision may hold the key to Jessie’s secret past. Has Jessie’s whole life been a lie, or have her delusions gotten the best of her?

Towards the end of the book it ran really really really really long. It was good to get closure at the end, though I think that there was probably an hour of content
that could have been chopped. I do love her style of writing, so I continued to power through it. Performance was great.

It's not very often that I haven't figured out the ending of a book by the fourth chapter! Good job!

I was dying for Eden. How badly she wanted a baby! Any woman who has had trouble getting pregnant can surely relate. Definitely did not expect the ending....but I am so glad that even we, the readers, got closure. Excellent read!

No one can lure you in a story like Mary Kubica!

So I just discovered Mary Kubica a week ago and have downloaded 5 of her books. I’ve made it through three and a half of them and am addicted.. I was addicted after the very first book I listened to. I love the way all her characters come together, how they’re all linked in the end. I love how the stories are fold from different people and their points of view. It keeps it interesting. Can’t wait to download more because I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll listen to my last two books like I’ve listened to the first three, every spare second I have, turning them in even if I just have a couple of minutes, taking a drive of just sitting in my truck just listening for as long as I can, sitting in my truck listening whole day turns to night or night turns to morning, driving into work, taking a shower, stepping outside for a break. I can’t stop, legit feeling like an addiction as I crave the next chapter and the next and the next. Thank you Mary, you’re brilliant..

Amazing book

I found this story confusing, like I missed something. I wondered if it was an unabridged version of the book. Also, the descriptions were often redundant. For example, "I felt nauseous. I felt like I could throw up." I didn't hate the book, but it wasn't my favorite

I really like Mary Kubica’s books, but this one was just not that great in my opinion. It was predictable and boring.

Eden’s point of view.

I was drawn in and interested the whole way then the story just dropped off at the end. Love her books but this ending was disappointing to me!

Great story....terrible ending

I don't usually write reviews but I found this book so confusing, slow and too filled with minutiae to NOT write a review.
The ending was swift and unsatisfactory after dragging the story out forever. I found myself wanting to slap both of the main characters so many times. Would not recommend it.

Could it move any slower?
