Since that one fateful night when Quincy was a teenager hanging out with her friends, her life has never been the same. The aftermath of a brutal attack left her the sole survivor with no idea who did it or why she has been left to pick up the pieces and restart her life.
She is now a baker and lives with her longtime boyfriend and does her best to forget that night. But is she forgetting or is she just living a lie? That something that you end up slowly figuring out throughout the book as you learn more about Quincy and the other victims who have also been soul survivors of brutal attacks.

Overall I enjoyed this book, it kept me on my toes all the time. Quincy is a character that you like one moment and the next you wonder what in the world is she doing. Which was frustrating at times, but also made the book far more interesting. The people in her life I saw at one point all as suspects and slowly ruled them out as time went on. Which made the ending surprising for me about something things. I had figured out one part of the ending reveal beforehand because things weren't adding up, but I completely missed other things, and I thought the killer was everybody but the person it ended up being.
I'm now interested in reading more Sager books to see if they are a new mystery/thriller author for me.
