Description
Two women. A dying wish. And a web of lies that will bring their world crashing down.
Nina and Marie were best friends-until Nina was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Before she died, Nina asked Marie to fulfill her final wishes.
But her mistake was in thinking Marie was someone she could trust.
What Nina didn't know was that Marie always wanted her beautiful life, and that Marie has an agenda of her own. She'll do anything to get what she wants.
Marie thinks she can keep her promise to her friend's family on her own terms. But what she doesn't know is that Nina was hiding explosive secrets of her own.

Review
This was a book with so many twists and turns. I changed my mind several times throughout reading the book about what was happening and who was doing what.
Initially I had very little sympathy for Marie, could you trust anything she told you as she was the narrator of the story and a self confessed liar. It was quite scary the way Marie had decided that she wanted Nina's old life and the means she used to get it.
As the story progressed and other lies were revealed (or were they lies, if Marie was lying...) it began to get really intriguing and a real puzzle. Soon it becomes apparent that Marie may be not the only liar. Will Marie regret wanting what she thought was a perfect life?
The writing was well paced and whilst you may not like the characters this is certainly a slice of life that I will remember. I'm giving this book 5 out of 5 stars.
My thanks to Pigeonhole for the daily staves and the chance to read along with Karen.
