A small, petite paperback that was easy to sit down and read in one sitting, but for me the story just didn't work. Sam was a father and husband until a tragedy hit his family and he is still trying to cope with all of the change. Cynthia is a therapist and is having her own life upheavals and when Sam comes to her for help their lives get very intertwined.

I think my biggest complaint about this book was that I just couldn't trust either of the characters from the beginning. I was waiting from page to page for something sinister or something to surprise me and it wasn't the good reading feeling that one can get from a mystery. I wish one or the other of the characters was a little more honest and that I could trust them for the truth. All of this made me just not care about the characters and I don't like not caring, I am fine with not trusting, but its hard not to care and keep reading.

The redeeming feature of the book was the twists and turns. I won't spoil but I liked how the Sam and Cynthia's lives ended up connected. That was interesting and I would have loved for that to come out earlier and for them to have to deal with that earlier in the book.

AND the ending. Call me an optimist, but I like a book to end with as few lingering questions and when it came to the end of this book I had some many questions and concerns and I felt very unsettled and I hated that feeling.
