For the first half of the book I was totally enthralled, following along through the alternative storylines but eventually toward the last third, I found myself plodding through and no longer engaged. The parts after she's out of prison with her friends and how things have changed seemed to go on too long, but I did find the relationship between Joanna and Reuben to be fascinatingly complex in both Cover and Reveal story lines. They were each very unique and contrasting personalities and I wound up thinking this was as much a love story as a crime novel.
