[Kathi · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I understand the reason for the main character having two names, when the author switched gears in chapter 7 and referred to her by the fictitious name from all points of view, it threw me a little and detracted from my enjoyment of the story. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this read.
