Like many other readers who have read this book, I finished reading it with a "What just happened?" feeling.
Until the last thirty pages I was hooked and couldn't wait to finish this intriguing story. It is about a married woman, Amber, who is in a coma after a horrible accident. The story takes the reader back and forth in time telling of the difficult times in Amber's life, parents who doted on her younger sister, Claire, losing her grandmother who she believed was the only person who truly loved her, and finding a friend who lived the life Amber wished for herself. The author builds the mystery by adding a former boyfriend of Amber's who works in the hospital where she lies in the coma. In her comatose state, Amber believes that this former boyfriend is trying to kill her. Amber also has a deep animosity towards the woman with whom she works. As the story goes back in time, Amber was setting events in motion to deal with this coworker. It is a twisted tale of the way people see themselves and others and the lengths they will go to create the life they desire.
