AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
NAMED A TOP 10 DEBUT AUTHOR TO WATCH BY POPSUGAR A PARADE.COM DEBUT NOVEL EVERYONE WILL BE READING
His first mistake? Thinking she'd let him go.
Juliette finally has it all. Great friends. An exciting new job that sends her to exotic locations all over the world. Best of all, she has a good, decent man who loves her, who wants to spend the rest of his life with her...
He just won't admit it.
But Juliette's not worried. After all, fate brought them together in the first place. If she and Nate are meant to be, they can weather any storm--even this break-up they're going through now. Nate thought things had been moving too fast, getting too intense. All he needed was some space, though. Now that six months have passed since that awful night, it's time for Juliette to put her plan into action.
It takes some convincing: cleaning his apartment while he's out, leaving behind his favorite foods...little things to make him realize how badly he misses her. Once he sees Juliette has this perfect new life--and broken free from her dark past--he won't ignore her anymore. Especially now that she's working for his airline.
She's not going to let him go so easily. Because their love is like a dream that never dies.
Even when it turns out to be a nightmare.
"Funny, creepy, surprising, scary, and exhilarating."--Publishers Weekly

I don't know where to start on this one. The ickiness I received the further I got into the book was palpable. I actually liked Lily/Elizabeth in the beginning. I know we're not supposed to, as she's the antagonist. I wouldn't even call her an anti-hero. I felt bad for her in the beginning. Then she went off the deep end, as she was supposed to, but it made me cringe more than entice me. The fact no one seemed to confront her about anything really irked me. What are the odds that she knew every nice person that just let her own them in her life? And yet she was claiming to be the victim. Like I said, I understand that's what is supposed to happen since we are seeing it through her eyes. Amy, Bella, Nate, Miles... all these people just don't have brains. Lily/Juliette/Elizabeth drugs Nate to marry her, convinces Miles to sleep with her, and Amy is too brain-dead to see Juliette's true colors even after finding out she was the one that snuck into her flat.
This woman is obviously delusional, but what really gets me is the people surrounding her.
AND THE END!!
What the hell was that?! Juliette is now a murderer for killing Tara, Nate's current girlfriend, and she not only gets away with it but lives happily ever after with Nate? I can't... I can't with this one.
Cringe doesn't even begin to describe this ending. In fact, there is no ending. We are taken on a wild ride that stops so abruptly that I feel like I was thrown violently from my seat, banged my head on the concrete floor, and still had to watch people around me, not knowing how to save my life.
The three stars I gave this novel was generous. I liked it in the beginning, but it lost me the minute Juliette sleeps with Miles.
