Jessie Sloane is on the path to rebuilding her life after years of caring for her ailing mother. She rents a new apartment and applies for college. But when the college informs her that her social security number has raised a red flag, Jessie discovers a shocking detail that causes her to doubt everything she’s ever known.
Finding herself suddenly at the center of a bizarre mystery, Jessie tumbles down a rabbit hole, which is only exacerbated by grief and a relentless lack of sleep.

The cover is colorful and intriguing. I really like it.
This is the first Mary Kubica Book I read, and I don't know if I'll be reading any of her other works.
The storyline was pretty intriguing, and I read it till the end, but only because I wanted to know what exactly happened. Whether Jessica Sloane was Eden's daughter or not. And that one question is what kept me reading.
I hate stories that drag too much. I love books with ample action, where things just keep happening. Well, this book was way too slow for me. Way too slow.
I was actually starting to like the book, and then the book took a sudden twist and I was left fumbling in exasperation.
So yeah, it was psychological enough, but it lacked a lot in the "thriller" aspects.
