The book was a little slow to start, but by about the 15th or 20th page I was hooked. This book is truly a thriller. You think one thing might happen and it completely changes. At first  I kind of hated Rachel, but the more you find out her story the more depressing it is. I can see why shes so upset, and why she keeps harassing her ex-husband. Anna is terrible. She knew that Tom was married to Rachel, but chose to pursue him anyway. I am not a fan of Anna at all, she is also very over-dramatic about situations. At first, like Rachel I personally believed that Megan and Scott were the perfect couple, but as Megan's side of the story comes out you see how truly flawed their marriage is. ]]> 2017-05-01 02:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ssl47510/whetnwewzhiv/wish/169104458 ssl47510 https://padlet.com/ssl47510/whetnwewzhiv/wish/169105802 Megan is unhappy and is constantly cheating on her husband, she doesn't want kids and is very cold and distant from Scott at times. Scott doesn't trust Megan, with good reason. He knows that Megan has cheated before, and its a reoccurring issue that comes between them. I have mixed feelings about Megan. I think she is self-centered and doesn't really care for Scott. I feel bad for Scott for being in such a toxic relationship.]]> 2017-05-01 02:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ssl47510/whetnwewzhiv/wish/169105802 ssl47510 https://padlet.com/ssl47510/whetnwewzhiv/wish/169105867 I would definitely recommend this book. I think it is a really great read. If someone was into thrillers I would point them towards this book. I am excited to watch the movie after I finish the book also.
