Sarah and her sister Lea lived with their mother, Fleur, and her boyfriend/husband Lou. When Sarah was a teen, Lou forced her into his drug business. Her life was not her own anymore. She knew if she was going to survive, she would need to escape and take Lea too.
She assumes an identity of a friend. They resemble each other enough for her to use her passport and flee to Ireland. Sarah reinvents herself and becomes a sought-after artist. She lives in constant fear that her truth will come out. Because if the truth comes out, the life she created will end.
The book has a steady pace, the characters are developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. The book bounces from Sarah’s memories to her current life. This helps the reader understand the reasons behind her actions.
