Awful, simply awful. After a couple of chapters (in which the author mistakes short, choppy chapters for building tension ...), I skipped to the end, just to find out what the "twist" was. What a load of codswallop.

Wow! This was compelling reading told in alternating perspectives between Louise (potential mistress) and Adele (wife). I saw reviews exclaiming they never saw the ending coming so I was expecting a twist. I felt I saw it coming, could see it a mile away! That's exactly what was playing out-until the last 4 pages!-I was wrong! What?! Okay, I really didn't see that coming. If you read this, let it play out. I bet you won't see it coming either. It's clever. It kept me reading to the end. Did I like it? I am not completely sure. Maybe?

This was an interesting book that definitely kept me guessing as to what was really going on!
-
I enjoyed the writing style (besides the repeated use of the word "dregs" and the single use of the word "retard"). It flowed easily and quickly and kept my attention.
-
There were several unique and fascinating elements that I have not found in other psychological thrillers (a genre that tends to lean towards boilerplate copy).
-
The ending was what prevented it from being a 5-star book for me, though. And while I can see how the ending would have been the best part for many readers, it just did not sit right with me.
