Description

REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK | #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“This fast-paced read has everything you could want in a thriller: secret identities, a mysterious boss and a cat & mouse game that kept me guessing the whole way through.”—Reese Witherspoon

Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.


The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job.

Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job will be different. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes--especially after what happened last time.

Because the one thing she’s worked her entire life to keep clean, the one identity she could always go back to—her real identity—just walked right into this town. Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there’s still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn't be higher--but then, Evie has always liked a challenge...

    It wasn’t until I was 2/3 thru the book that the story picked up and definitely had an ending I don’t think anyone will guess!
  • Great read

    Great book with lots of twists that I never saw coming (and I can usually guess them in advance). Well worth the purchase!
  • Twists and turns

    . . . over the course of 3 days, but you get the idea. This is my first book review and one of my quickest reads ever! I could barely put it down. She did such a great job of weaving the past with the present and combining multiple plot lines. I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t wait to find out the ending! No loose ends or plot holes (from what I could tell). I am new to the mystery genre and would definitely enjoy more stories like this one! Highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
