This book covers the story of Megan, who is a nurse and was working in the ICU when a patient came in that had fallen off of a pedestrian bridge and was severely injured. To spare all of the long and suffering details of this book, the woman who had fallen’s name is actually Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn was previously dating Megan’s ex-husband, but when he broke it off with her, she lost her mind. She pretended to be Megan’s friend from high school and pretended that she was being abused by her husband. The intention of her doing this was basically to make Megan comfortable with her so she could infiltrate her life and basically steal from her and make her life miserable. Her reason behind this also is that Megan’s ex was also still in love with her, which made Kate jealous.

The plot twist turns out to be the fact that when Kaitlyn stayed at Megan’s apartment, because Megan thought that Kate was basically being hunted by her abusive ex-husband, Kaitlyn stole her wedding ring from her, and also informed Megan’s daughter that Megan’s ex is not her real father

Time passes by and basically Megan stumbles upon Kaitlyn out somewhere in Chicago, she chases her down to the pedestrian bridge and basically corners her. Caitlin ends up, saying some really vile things to Megan at which point Megan ends up, pushing her off of the railing and she smacked the concrete.

We later find out that Megan was caring for Kaitlyn as her patient when she was in the ICU. Kaitlyn slowly starts to get better and better, and Megan knows that if she wakes up that she will ruin her life, so she ends up, injecting her with a large volume of insulin that she stole from another patient’s room.

At the same time, this is happening Luke, another nurse at the hospital for whom Megan is very close to, turns out to be a serial rapist and killer that was haunting women in the Chicago area. He ends up kidnapping Megan‘s daughter, sienna, and taking her to an abandoned house. Megan finds us out because after her and Luke go for a drink, Luke’s wife calls her saying that he was a DNA match to the DNA that was found under a woman who had been killed nails.

Luke basically tells her to meet them at an abandoned house at which point he’s holding sienna at gunpoint. She says that she’ll help him out and help him escape, but before that happens as a police come and blow Luke’s brains out and sienna’s taken off to the hospital. She makes a full recovery.

The curious part, although also insufferable was the fact that at the very end of the book Ben, Megan‘s ex, comes over to take sienna for the weekend. He tells her to close her eyes into outstretch her hand at which point he put something in the palm of her hand. She opens her eyes and realizes that it was the wedding ring that he had given her that Kaitlyn was wearing before she was pushed off of the pedestrian bridge. Megan then start to understand that Ben was likely involved with Kaitlyn pretending to be her old friend from high school. It ends on a cliffhanger.

Overall, I really enjoyed the first plot twist because it was very interesting to see the past in the present kind of come together to make us understand what was happening in the plot. However, how incredibly insufferable the main character was, and how incredibly self-righteous she was made listening to the book a little bit difficult in addition the book was way longer than it needed to be, and there was so much extra extraneous information that was added for nothing. Would definitely not recommend this book even for an entry-level thriller.
