I don't always end up liking psychological thrillers like this, but I totally loved this one. It was sooo good!

Kelly Medina comes across as an unreliable narrator especially when you read that she's previously had mental health issues and is seeing a psychologist. It definitely made me question her, although I did feel sorry her.

Her husband worked away, but considering how he was always putting her down/finding something wrong with anything she did, I would've considered that a blessing! Honestly, he was awful.

With her husband, Rafael away at work and her son, Aaron away at college, Kelly seems to lead a very lonely life. That is until, another Kelly sharing her exact name turns up in her town, with a little baby boy in tow.

Kelly (1) becomes intrigued by her and decides to befriend her, but that soon turns into something of an obsession. Initially it seems like Kelly (2) is just a single mother struggling with a small baby, but it soon becomes more than that and you come to realise that all is not as it seems with her.

The book was brilliantly written and had me hooked from start to finish. There was also a twist I didn't see coming which made me go, what?! I honestly didn't see it coming!

This was brilliant and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves psychological thrillers!
