I didn't see it coming! For me, the end was great. It definitely left me with an evil grin on my face, which is absolutely how I like to wrap-up my dramatic reads! Thank you so much to the publisher, MIRA, for providing me with a copy of this to read and review, as well as including me in the Blog Tour for the release. Hannah Mary McKinnon has a new fan in me. I look forward to reading more from her in the future! View all 6 comments. A secret is revealed that sends our main character grieving Eleanor on a path of deception, revenge motivated by grief jealously and the need for a family connection. The story starts slow as Hannah Mary McKinnon delves into Eleanor's mind, where we see her thoughts of self-loathing, paranoia, desperation and jealousy. This took on a depressing and sad mood to the story for me, and I didn't get the emotional response I was looking for. The pace picks up near the end, and Hannah leaves those twists A secret is revealed that sends our main character grieving Eleanor on a path of deception, revenge motivated by grief jealously and the need for a family connection. The pace picks up near the end, and Hannah leaves those twists and reveals till that explosives ending that felt exciting. I was tapping my kindle faster than a line of tap dancers. Some clues and actions by the characters are a little too convenient, and not as convincing as I would have liked them to be. However, that ending took me surprised and was thrilling and twisted, just like this twisted dark reader likes! I received a copy from the publisher on NG This turns her world upside down and nothing will be the same again. She learns that Bruce is not her father and when she seeks out her biological father, she finds he is wealthy, a devoted husband and father to Victoria. Eleanor makes some decisions that she will live to bitterly regret and pay dearly for. The power of the novel lies in the portrayal of the characters who are so well described. He mother Sylvia has undermined all her confidence and feelings of self worth over the years which leads to bouts of binge eating. As the story progresses, Eleanor is able to throw off her ugly duckling shackles and a more confident swan emerges. Eleanor meets neighbour Lewis who is an extremely likeable character with the added bonus of being a bit phawww! Sylvia is the only weak character in my opinion as she feels like a stereotype and as for Victoria, what can I say about her. The novel is well written, the plot is good with the right pace. Overall, a gripping, enjoyable read. View all 32 comments. May 23, Norma rated it really liked it Shelves: netgalley-edelweiss-approved , traveling-sister-reads. Surprising, thrilling, and a compelling page turner! The story progresses at a steady pace and the tension subtly increases throughout. There is an unpredictable and pivotal moment in the story that changes the dynamics totally and makes this quite the apprehensive non-stop, exciting read. There were some characteristics to her personality that were so wickedly interesting, emotional, and relatable to me that totally fascinated and immersed me in this storyline. What I especially connected to was how Eleanor perceived her body. I definitely shared some of her body image issues. For the most part I thought this was extremely unpredictable even though I guessed one aspect to the twist: the end result was totally mind-blowing. Thank you so much to Edelweiss for my eGalley. This book has one of the best cleverly crafted endings that I have recently read. It is twisty, thrilling and totally took me by surprise! Can we have a sequel please? View all 11 comments.

Eleanor has never had a good relationship with her mother or her sister, thank goodness her father has always been there for her. When she reaches out to her biological father he also rejects her. Eleanor is now furious and ready to seek revenge. She masterminds a plan to befriend her half sister Victoria and ultimately destroy her. The thing is she likes Victoria and soon the girls form a strong friendship, but what will happen when Eleanor tells Victoria the truth? This part of the story was engaging and I liked that these girls had formed a friendship especially because technically they were half-sisters. Elinor also started a romance with her neighbor Louise who was such a good guy, but Elinor had a lot of insecurities that she still needed to work through that messed with the relationship. Well not so fast The end of this book was fraught with tension as everything started spinning out of control. This was an entertaining story, but I think it would have been stronger had I been more sympathetic towards Eleanor. I did understand that she had suffered quite a bit from the way her mother had treated her. Her inner dialogues and self loathing were depressing. The audiobook is narrated by Lauren Ezzo Who did an incredible job. I do think I enjoyed this book even more because the narration was really well done as always by Lauren. This was a good book with a few issues just like its main character. View all 5 comments. If you think you know where this story is headed, watch out.

However, Eleanor is about to live her worst nightmare when her father passes after fighting a long illness. After her father does pass Eleanor learns of the identity of her biological father and since she has a strained relationship with her mother and sister she decides to look into meeting her real father. There was always that feeling of who do I trust as you are reading which for me makes the pages turn even faster as I begin to suspect them all.

If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. I'll start off by saying, though, it's not a thriller Told entirely from Eleanor's point of view, she was a character who grew up with an emotionally abusive mot If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance. Told entirely from Eleanor's point of view, she was a character who grew up with an emotionally abusive mother, a sister who loathed her, and a father who wasn't actually her dad She was an incredibly sympathetic character--at first. However, upon meeting her biological father, she became vindictive and revenge-seeking, after which she decided that didn't suit her purpose, and instead became loving and helpful. She was so annoyingly wishy-washy, I had a hard time deciding how I felt about her as our protagonist. The story was somewhat predictable. Actually, it was very predictable, yet I still enjoyed the journey. I'm not sure how or why, but it did work for me, despite my gripes. The conclusion left an opening for a sequel, and I do believe I'd check it out if it ever materializes.
