What it’s about (from Goodreads):
Three women. One stranger in a shimmering silver dress. Whatever binds them together has already destroyed one life. It just might consume them all.
Someday, Livvi Gray will break free from her past. Someday, she will escape her recurring nightmare about that stranger in a shimmering silver dress. Someday, she will have a family of her own. Now she's found Andrew, and someday seems to be right around the corner. But there's so much Livvi doesn't know.
Shortly before her thirtieth birthday, she will come face-to-face with the stranger from her dream-an encounter that will alter Livvi's future and crack open everything she knew about her past. Livvi is swiftly moving toward the ultimate turning point in her life-and she's not the only one. Linked by an unforgettable mystery, photographer Micah and young mother AnnaLee are also being rapidly drawn into a web of devastating secrets about the unexpected ways in which we choose to protect-and betray-the people we love.
Our thoughts:
This book is written as three separate story lines which finally come together beautifully in the end. The heart of this novel is a mystery full of secrets. The people keeping the secrets are trying to protect themselves and the people they love, but ultimately, the secrets only lead to more hurt.
I really enjoyed reading this book but it didn't end the way I wanted it to. Even though the characters were deeply flawed, I felt very sympathetic toward them. This was a great read. While I couldn't wait to finish this book to see how it ends, at the same time I wanted the story to continue.
