Your life is perfect.’ Anna says, smiling across my dining table. But something in her tone and the glint in her hazel eyes lets me know the comment is laced with jealousy. I sip my wine and smile. Soon she’ll learn that having this life costs more than she could ever imagine…
Everyone thinks I’m living the perfect life. I have my dream job, a stunning apartment, and glamourous friends – who know nothing about my dark past. So I’m shocked when I run into Anna, who I haven’t seen in eighteen years. Everything about her reminds me of the life I’ve left behind. But as her eyes fill with tears and she tells me she’s lost her job and can’t pay her rent, I reluctantly offer her my spare room.
Anna promises she won’t stay for long. But soon, I notice she’s wearing my designer clothes and has dyed her hair to match my exact shade of chocolate brown. As I watch her curled up on my sofa, my blood runs cold. Did Anna really come back into my life by chance? What is she hiding?
Then I receive a chilling anonymous phone call telling me my time is up. Memories of that terrible night that changed everything come flooding back. The flames. The thick smoke. Someone knows what I did, and they want revenge.
But whoever that someone is, they’ve underestimated how far I’ll go to protect my perfect life…

Review
You know the saying ‘the grass is always greener on the other side’? Well, that fits this story perfectly, until it doesn’t…
There is nothing wrong with imitating someone’s hair or dress style. I admit it can be annoying for the person being copied, but on the other hand it can also be seen as a compliment when people like it so much they want to mirror it.
Some people go even further and really want to become that person. But be careful for what you wish for…
The more I got sucked into the story, the more skeletons were falling out of the closet.
Soemtimes you think yoy know someone and you know exactly how to get them where you want them to go, but are you really as clever as you thought? Did you really think you were the clever one?
I love, love this book. The green eyed monster is such a powerful creature that can consume someone completely making them cross the line. 5 stars
Thank you
