Publisher's Summary

The perfect daughter. The perfect girlfriend. The perfect murder?

Jenna is seriously ill. She's lost all hope of getting the heart transplant she needs to live. But just as her life is ebbing away, she receives a donor heart from a girl called Callie.

Who was Callie and how did she die? Jenna is determined to find out.

The closer Jenna gets to those who loved Callie, the more questions arise about her untimely death. Someone knows what happened to Callie. Why won't they talk?

Jenna is about to uncover the truth, but it could cost her everything; her loved ones, her sanity, even her life.

A compelling, gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist from the author of the number #1 best-seller The Sister.

Critic Reviews

"My eyes were racing down the pages... had me guessing right up to the very end and I had tears in my eyes as I relived Charlie's last moments... exceptional... It's an addictive page-turner that begs time and again for just one more chapter until the whole book has been devoured and thoroughly enjoyed." ( The Book Magnet)
"Wow! What an amazing debut novel! Full of intense twists! Fantastic book to start off summer reading! Highly recommend." ( Loud and Proud Book Junkie )

Not really my "cup of tea"

I listened to this book as it was recommended, but the genre probably doesn't suit me. It is well narrated and probably well written but I found the main character very frustrating, constantly uncertain. If you enjoy psychological thrillers though, you may enjoy this book.

Overall entertaining

Interesting storyline, with intricate ending. The audio was a bit weird. Chopped and changed editing which was distracting. But worth the read (listen!).

Good plot, poorly executed

I loved the premise and it starts off strong but the recording is poorly patched together ruining the flow a bit. A few plot holes.

Character

The main character was a little ridiculous and extremely irrational and unbelievable
most of the time. Found her a bit frustrating . Narrator good though.

Great story idea but lost me

I loved the idea behind this book. it was a brilliant concept but I found it a bit complicated. I lost interest and found the story lost its spark after a while.
