**My thoughts**

When I heard that this book was being made into a movie, I have to say I wasn't surprised. The plot reads more like a movie or a soap opera than a book to me. Lots of lies and deceit, illicit affairs, and twists in the plot lend themselves to a story unfolding on screen.

I was reminded of several other movies while reading this novel. I thought of The Graduate, with the affair between an older woman and her son's best friend. (Hello, Mrs. Robinson.) Secrets between friends who go away on a trip reminded me of I Know What You Did Last Summer. (I could see Jennifer Love Hewitt as one of the women, standing out in the rain, yelling to come and get her.)

I have to say that some of the plot twists were really easy for me to figure out at an early stage. I kept on reading to find out if I was right. Some of the other plot twists seemed to come out of left field. This falls in line with the soap opera kind of idea, where even though people have known each other forever. strange things happen and deception rules.

If you're a fan of soap operas and drama, you're going to really like this book. I wish Jennifer Brown-Thomas good luck on her movie adventure and future projects!
