Rezension von Talita ChahineEsse livro vai mostrar mais uma vez pra gente como as mulheres ainda são desacreditadas !! Vamos acompanhar duas mulheres que precisam desaparecer, cada uma por um motivo, mas as duas estão correndo sérios riscos se continuarem onde estão. Claire Cook, é uma mulher que tem a suposta vida perfeita, casou com um Filantropo da prestigiada família Cook, o Rory, e sim no começo era tudo um sonho, mas alguns anos depois ele realmente mostrou a que veio, e a Claire passou a viver com medo até de respirar muito fundo perto dele, tudo era um gatilho pra que ele se tornasse extremamente violento, e ela estava cansada disso, mas ele é um homem extremamente poderoso, e ela não via como fugir dessa vida. Eva James, é uma mulher que nunca teve nada na vida, cresceu em um orfanato, nunca conseguiu fazer parte de uma família, e quando parecia que tudo ia dar certo pra ela, ela faz uma escolha errada, e a sua vida nunca mais ia ser a mesma, a não ser que ela conseguisse desaparecer. Claire consegue a ajuda de dois amigos de infância, e juntos bolam um plano infalível pra que ela consiga recomeçar a sua vida longe de tudo e de todos, e sim ia dar certo, até que convenientemente Rory muda os planos e vai pra Detroit no lugar dela, e ela só fica sabendo dessa mudança de planos no dia, e vai ter que lidar com isso depois que voltar de Porto Rico. Eva tinha tudo planejado, ia voltar pra casa e entregar todas as provas que tinha, pra assim tentar salvar a sua vida. Mas o destino tinha outros planos, e as duas vão se encontrar na área de embarque do aeroporto JFK, e vão trocar as passagens, cada uma vai fingir ser a outra, e assim se livrarem dos problemas que as perseguem. Mas assim que o avião pousa em Berkeley, Claire recebe a notícia que o voo pra Porto Rico caiu, e não há nenhum sobrevivente. Isso apesar de trágico vai ajudar ela a replantar tudo, já que o Rory descobriu os seus planos,mas ela agora estava sem dinheiro e sem rumo. E vai ser nacasa da Eva, fingindo ser ela, que ela vai descobrir que apesar de acreditar que sim ela não está sozinha!! E vai finalmente ter coragem de contar a sua história, e vai ser no momento certo, além de conseguir se ver livre do marido, ela ainda vai destruir a sua carreira !
