Lillian Linden is a liar. On the surface, she looks like a brave survivor of a plane crash. But she's been lying to her family, her friends, and the whole world since rescue helicopters scooped her and her fellow survivor, Dave Hall, off a deserted island in the South Pacific. Missing for almost two years, the castaways are thrust into the spotlight after their rescue, becoming media darlings overnight. But they can't tell the real story—so they lie. The public is fascinated by the castaways' saga, but Lillian and Dave must return to their lives and their spouses. Genevieve Randall—a hard-nosed journalist and host of a news program—isn't buying it. She suspects Lillian's and Dave's explanations about the other crash survivors aren't true. And now, Genevieve's determined to get the real story, no matter how many lives it destroys. In this intriguing tale of survival, secrets, and redemption, two everyday people thrown together by tragedy must finally face the truth…even if it tears them apart.

so I picked this up as a kindle first through amazon prime. I thought the cover was interesting so I decided to give it a chance. I was oddly surprised that I had a love hate relationship with this book. I would have gutted Kent Myself if I was Lillian but You have to read more of the story to get what I mean. the ending was awesome will be looking for more by this author.
it was a hard morning and afternoon and I browsed through three didferent books, none appealing tome, till I got to this Kindle first title. The narrative is good and well timed, the voice intersting, the premise (media vultures, survival, adaptation) great. I finished in three hours. That said, mosr characters could use a bit more depth (Kent, Jerry,the kids, Beth), Paul's demise was sudden and very poorly explained (starvation or a snake bite might have been easier than SDS), and the abrupt ending is a disservice to the book.
