What does this mean for Ruby? Is Ruby really their child? Find out who the real Emma is.

If you are looking to get some books under your belt this one is a quick read. I finished in a day.  This book has good twists that will keep you entertained. I did find the book to be on the cheesy side towards the end. I wish it would have been more realistic around how a husband would act finding out enormous things about his wife’s life. Some big events toward the end were also rushed and I wish there was a better storyline. I felt like the author wanted to end the book quickly and didn’t find the time to expand on the smaller details. All in all, it was good not great. I would recommend for a short plane ride, easily entertained but low expectations.
