We immediately get the sense that something epic, scarring and painful happened when things ended. We start off with Olivia running into Caleb, three years after they’ve broken up. The story really comes alive with the exchanges and plot twists… and trust me, you want to EXPERIENCE everything this book has to offer. So what’s the story? I’ll let you know up front that it’s almost impossible to tell you about what happens. I kicked, shoved and punched people out of my life, so they never had the chance to hurt me.” At the same time, however, I think there’s a vulnerability there that’s rooted in her desire to belong and to be loved… but it’s a vulnerability she works hard to keep hidden. She’s ruthlessly driven and focused and likes to be in control.
She’s a product of a broken home that was also fueled by manipulation. I mean, this girl is SOMETHING ELSE! Her moral compass is rather defective I think. Olivia is one of the most interesting and complex characters I’ve ever read. I know bippity, boppity bullshit when I see it.” “Listen pal, don’t think for one minute that I buy that sensitive guy routine you’ve got going. She met Caleb Drake in college and he pursued her despite her pushing him away. You have to want him to be happier than you are.” One of the questions I kept asking myself was… If you make bad choices because you love someone so deeply, does it make it okay in the end? And more so, is it truly love? “There is more to loving someone than just making yourself happy. Addictive and brilliantly structured, Tarryn Fisher weaved a complex story layered in lies and mistakes - so much so that it becomes difficult to discern truth from reality, goodness from wrongness, love from manipulation. I mean really - Wow! Wow! Holy Wow! I DEVOURED this book! .down.
But, soon enough Olivia must face the consequences of her lies, and in the process discover that sometimes love falls short of redemption. It is a race to the finish as these two vipers engage in a vicious tug of war to possess a man who no longer remembers them. Wrestling to keep her true identity and their sordid past under wraps, Olivia’s greatest obstacle is Caleb’s wicked, new girlfriend Leah Smith. With an already lousy reputation for taking advantage of situations, Olivia must decide how far she is willing to go to get Caleb back. Olivia Kaspen has just discovered that her ex-boyfriend, Caleb Drake, has lost his memory.
A brilliantly crafted story of love, manipulation and lies.
