Amber Patterson is fed up with being a "have not," especially since the world she occupies seems to be filled with "haves" like the beautiful socialite Daphne Parrish, whose enviable marriage and bank account turn Amber green with envy. Intent on stealing the handsome Jackson Patterson from under Daphne's unsuspecting nose, Amber worms her way into Daphne's life and family, beginning with the made-up story of her sister who, coincidently, died of cystic fibrosis, just like Daphne's sister. The two bond when Amber volunteers to help with Daphne's fundraiser for CF and soon become close friends, even as Amber plots to take the unsuspecting Daphne's place in Bishop's Harbor, Connecticut.
It is true that none of us really knows what goes on behind closed doors. The grass may look greener beyond the fence, but is it, really? Constantine's plotting is clever and her characters are revealed at just the right pace to keep the reader. There are lots of surprising twists and turns that reminded me of Gone Girl and similar thrillers. Highly recommended!
