One dark evening on New York City’s Upper West Side, two strangers meet by chance. Over drinks, Amanda and Wendy realize they have much in common, especially loneliness and an intense desire for revenge against the men who destroyed their families. As they talk into the night, they come up with the perfect if you kill for me, I’ll kill for you.

In another part of the city, Ruth is home alone when the beautiful brownstone she shares with her husband, Scott, is invaded. She’s attacked by a man with piercing blue eyes, who disappears into the night. Will she ever be able to feel safe again while the blue-eyed stranger is out there?

To Chapter 7, or 17%: I am invested so far just learning about our two main women, Amanda and Ruth. I was surprised that (view spoiler)[we're also getting Detective Farrow's perspective, but I am excited about it, as I love having the perspective of investigators. (hide spoiler)]

To 40%: I have lost track of what chapter I am on, but wanted to write another status update before I end up finishing this thing. It's super addicting. (view spoiler)[First, I am not 100% trusting that Naomi killed that guy? Did she? I mean just because he didn't show up at work...I am hoping she is being true to her word to Amanda, but it just seems too easy. Also, I was surprised that we are actually getting Scott's perspective. I'm not against it, this just seemed like a women-centered narrative. (hide spoiler)]

To 51%: I knew it! (view spoiler)[I knew Naomi was full of shit, but why did she go to that extent of trickery? Wild. Also, super curious how Amanda and Ruth and going to meet/intersect. (hide spoiler)]

To 70%: (view spoiler)[OMG, the wrong guy!? WTF. Scott is never going to get over this. Still confused how Amanda and Ruth are going to intersect. Did Amanda kill the guy who attacked Ruth? That's gotta be it, right!? But what about Naomi? Where does she fit in? (hide spoiler)]

To 74%: (view spoiler)[Ruth is Naomi, isn't she!? (hide spoiler)]

Finished!! I actually finished last night, but forgot to update. This was a fun one. 4-stars from me!!

I'll be reading this one sometime this week.

I hope you have fun with it, Melanie! It reads fairly quickly. Good luck!

Started this tonight.

Chapters 1-16
(view spoiler)[
This is really good so far. The whole Strangers on a Train plot is great and I'm interested to see where that goes now that Naomi claims she's killed Crone for Amanda. I wonder if she actually killed him or if it was a lie? And Ruth thinks she's found the guy who attacked her. Is he actually the right guy? She went through a really traumatic incident.

Finished this today.

Chapters 17-32
(view spoiler)[
Oh wow, I wonder why Naomi tricked Amanda into trying to kill that man. Her story was obviously all fake as Amanda discovered so who is she? Why did she want him dead? Also I can't believe Scott killed that guy. Hopefully Ruth is more ok now that her attacker is gone.

Chapters 33-48
(view spoiler)[
Damn so Naomi or whatever her name is has done this before. I'm starting to think Naomi is Ruth due to the fact all the victims look the same. She keeps getting people to kill men she thinks are her attacker.

Chapters 49-64
(view spoiler)[
I was right, Naomi was Ruth. She was having someone kill her attacker over and over again. I'm glad she was stopped but man did I not suspect Billy of being her attacker. I did like though that he got rid of Crone for Amanda, she deserved peace after what he did to her little girl.
