I couldn't put this down even though it felt like being unable to tear my eyes away from an impending train wreck. Twenty four year old Nicole is at her father's graveside when she sees Honey, her childhood friend, for the first time in six years. Born on the same day, they grew up together until one day Honey and her mother vanished with no contact until now. Nic is drawn into drawn into Honey's entanglements by her emotional attachment to her.
Told in first person from Nic's point of view, we only know as much as Nic does. It's dark and twisted with betrayal lurking at the edges of each page.
I loved the way it was written, even though I was constantly tense given that each bad decision compounds the next. This is a thoroughly engrossing read but not a light one.
Book received from Netgalley and ECW Press for an honest review.
