This is an excellent thriller. I devoured it in a few hours because once I started, I didn't want to stop. I had so many questions as I raced through the pages. What did Becky really see? Is the woman telling the truth or does she have a more sinister motive? This is a gripping thriller, full of twists and turns. Not everything you see is black and white. I found myself disliking Becky because of the choices she makes when the woman accuses Becky's boss of rape. I didn't understand her choice. I thought she was horrible person. Only when the author gradually reveals trauma from Becky's past did I start to understand her motive. I really liked how much she changes across the book, basically giving up everything to help someone else, a completely selfless act.
