I really wanted to love this book but unfortunately it was just a bit too slow and less of a psychological thriller, more of a light suspense so it wasn't quite what I was expecting.
However, it is very well written and executed with great in depth characterisations and character driven and it still made for an interesting read.
I will defiantly read other works by Michele Campbell. ( )

Read 100 pages.. didn't like any of the characters (sorry, but someone must have some likeable qualities for me).. just couldn't read anymore. ( )

If I'm perfectly honest did I from the beginning feel that this book just wasn't my kind of book. The first chapter with the woman standing on the bridge was interesting, but then the story went back in time and we got to know more about Kate, Aubrey, and Jenny. And, here lies the problem for me. They are all so cliché. Kate, the rich spoiled girl, Aubrey, the poor girl and Jenny the trustworthy middle-class girl. And all of them are totally unlikable and I never felt sorry for them. Instead, I was frequently annoyed with their behavior all through the book. Basically, Kate is the catalyst for all their problems from day one until present day when all her sins finally catch up with her and now she has to face what she did when she was young.

The big problem is that I just can't see how they could call themselves friends? I mean they have nothing in common and they hardly seem to be able to stand each other, wheel Audrey cling to them like a needy child. But, friendship? No way. For one thing, Kate seems incapable of having friends. I swear, I was so tempted all through the book to quit reading it, but wanting to find out what happened to the woman on the bridge kept me going.

Then we get to part two of the book, and it's here it really turns into a crime novel. And, for a moment I hoped that it would finally start to work for me. But, the introduction to the new police chief who had fallen for one of the three women and suddenly couldn't do his job properly destroyed that hope. On the plus side, there were a lot of interesting twist towards the end of the book, but by then it was pretty much too late to save the story.

I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review! ( )

What to say about this book? The topic had merit (which explains the 3-star review) but the actual telling of the story fell flat. The first half of the book was slow-paced and give background details that weren't really needed. The second half of the story moved like a race car...way too fast. It felt like the author got tired of writing and just wanted to finish the story, no matter how it ended. I did appreciate the little twist at the end but I found myself counting down the pages until the book was over.

Three young women, totally different, meet as college roommates and somewhat stick together...through life. An incident in their early years is never totally forgotten and resurfaces later in life. Very suspenseful, but yet interesting. I would read other books by this author. ( )
