I kept waiting for Picoult's trademark blindside ending but this one actually didn't end that way. As usual, the story was well-written, compelling you into the characters' lives and emotions. This was an excellent book about hidden secrets and lives not always appearing as they seem.
Without giving too much away, Cassie, an anthropologist, meets Alex, a movie star and they fall madly in love with each other. Their lives seem to be perfect and they are made for each other. Yet the lack of privacy of a movie star's life is portrayed in the book and Cassie finds herself in the spotlight that she is not used to. Alex's troubled past comes back to cause problems though to the public eye, their marriage is seen as storybook.
I enjoyed this book - it drew me in and made the characters come to life, even that of a famous movie star, who is after all, just a person like the rest of us.
