This book grabbed my attention within the first 5 pages. I never once lost interest and actually held my breath the last chapter. I recommend this one to all readers!

I was very impressed by this book. A book has to have characters that hold you, and make you feel right along with them... this book certainly does the job. An excellent read for the book lover that doesn't want to put the book down.

I am 15 years old. I wanted to read this book because the story sounded like a good book. And I was right. It was a real page turner. I gave it 4 stars because it was a school project and I didn't get the chance to finish the book.

First of all, I never got to like the main character - Laura / Marta. She's a great mother but not all that likeable to other people. Once I found out what she had done in Florida, that was it. I felt no empathy for her whatsoever.

I'm still not clear on why Marta felt she had to resort to prostitution as a teenager. Was it for the money only? Was it because of her mother? Was it because of her stepfather? This was never fully explained.

And, with everything that happened with Laura and David while going through their crisis and what is going on with Laura regarding work once her secrets are out, there was no ending! What happened? The author could have at least done a few 'epilogue' pages to wrap up the story lines.

Sorry, but I was disappointed.
