This novel has quite a twist at the end, and though I had considered putting it down a couple of times since Pammie was too reminiscent of my ex-mother-in-law, I am glad I stuck with it since I found myself breathless when the truth was finally revealed.
There is something about Adam Banks which draws Emily Havistock in. It did not matter that she was not looking for a relationship, there was just something about the man that scratched an itch. It is not until she meets his mother that the clash begins. Pammie does her best to keep Emily at arm's length, but Emily is not deterred until she senses that Adam becomes a different man when he is with his mother. Yet, Emily will make it work for the man she loves even if his mother stands in the way of their upcoming marriage.
As Pammie’s passive-aggressive moves escalate, and Adam actively takes his mother’s side, Emily is left with only a few friends and no recourse. It turns out that Pammie has a couple more tricks up her sleeve and with one final push, more secrets are revealed.
You want to fight for Emily since she is the narrator, yet you know that there has to be more to the story. It is not until the shocking conclusion that all the pieces of this puzzle come together. Nothing is as it seems. No one is who they seem to be, and until the final confessions, the reader is mesmerized by the faces that each had to wear before Emily can see the final truth.
