Publisher Description
We all have that one person for whom our heart will always beat. For Amy, that person is Caleb – charming and sweet, but an incorrigible womanizer. Friends through thick and thin – sometimes more – they've known decades of each other's relationships, careers, and experiences. But standing on the sidelines while he's happy with other people begins to take a toll on Amy. The unfulfilled promise of a future together tears at the seams of her sanity.
After finally getting the guy, her walls come crumbling down when she discovers Caleb's been in a relationship with someone else all along. What begins as simple curiosity about the other woman in his life quickly turns into a spiral of obsession that she can't seem to escape. Sophia is uninhibited, talented, and funny – but worst of all, she reminds Amy of herself. They have so much in common that they could be the same person. And they're unexpectedly brought together by the most important thing they share: Caleb.
Facilitated – or perhaps fueled – by technology, they peer covertly into each other's lives. The digital power struggle comes to life in a whirlwind of jealousy, lust, obsession, and hatred. Together, they explore the twisted bond that exists between them. What starts as idle curiosity becomes obsession, which very quickly descends into something much more menacing.
Customer Reviews
excellent book
I never could understand why we women hate the other woman - who never claimed to love us while excusing the man who supposedly does love us. Either way, it is how it is and it is easy to understand how it can cross over from curious to obsession. This book is about this sort of thing and is well-written with a compelling story. What happens? Read to find out!

Gripping read!
I think this is a multi-faceted book. It's easy to read, and themes the author explores can give you a bit of pause, in a way you can appreciate. I wasn't crazy about the beginning of the story but what I did enjoy is that it seems to be more of a (psychological and philosophical) commentary on society and our consumption of social media. It's got a little bit of everything. At least that's what I thought. And I really enjoyed that the author was able to bring up these themes and points of discussion while still weaving in the relationship between the characters. I really loved was how her psychological/philosophical ideas were presented as dialogue. And not in that Shonda Rhimes Gray's Anatomy kind of way. Definitely would recommend this book.
