I didn't want to put this book down. The author jumps flawlessly between speakers and time periods, showing that our lives can change in just one day. Tucker writes the book in the form of a mystery, though, so that how the characters tie together and have made their life choices is not seen immediately.

This was OK. I was drawn in and read it quickly but I felt the situation was highly unlikely so I had to suspend disbelief. Tucker writes well and the story was interesting if you can manage to suspend that disbelief. Mystery and little bit of a morality tale. Good for an airplane/train ride when you want to be sucked in but not have to thing too hard.

I just finished reading this book and I have to say it was a wonderful read. Not too dramatic and defiantly a page turner. I'm looking forward to reading more by this author!
