They weirdly never said the daughter’s name. I thought this was incredibly obvious, from the very first chapter from Heather’s POV. They had created the Big Plan together to target Skye and take her money. Heather had written Burke’s journals from Part One. And just when you think you know where this story is going, you’ll discover that there’s more than one way to spin the truth. But of course, even the best laid plans can go astray.

Meanwhile, three decades in the past, Heather’s longed-for transformation finally seems within reach. On a collision course she doesn’t see coming, Skye throws herself into wedding planning, as Burke’s scheme grows ever more twisted. But can her adolescent love stay firmly in her past-or will he find his way into her future? Inspired by the sophisticated mother of her babysitting charges, Heather vows to leave her impoverished hometown behind and make a better life for herself in New York City. In a third perspective, set thirty years earlier, a scrappy seventeen-year-old named Heather is determined to end things with Burke, a local bad boy.

And interspersed letters to his therapist reveal the truth: he’s happily married, and using Skye for his own, deceptive ends. Though Skye seems to have the world at her fingertips-she’s smart, beautiful, and from a well-off family-she’s also battled crippling OCD ever since her mother’s death when she was eleven, and her romantic relationships have suffered as a result.īut now Burke-handsome, older, and more emotionally mature than any man she’s met before-says he wants her. Skye Starling is overjoyed when her boyfriend, Burke Michaels, proposes after a whirlwind courtship. It’s best to go into this book blind–I don’t even recommend reading the summary! I think the blurb from the publisher gives too much away.
