Not only did the title and synopsis of this book catch my eye, but once I opened it, it kept my attention. The characters and situations are so real that they could be taken right from the headlines. If you enjoy books full of suspense and realism, this book is for you. I received my review copy from Litfuse Publicity Group in exchange for an honest review.

Scott and Rachel's marriage is on the brink of disaster. Scott, a businessman with a high-pressure job, just wants Rachel to understand him and accept his flaws. Rachel is a lonely housewife, desperate for attention and friendship. So she decides to create a virtual friend online, unaware that Scott is doing the exact same thing.
