We meet Sophie who believes she has had a good life with her Papa. She is so confused as to why certain events are happening and is very reluctant to change her opinions about her life and how she has been raised the last seventeen years.This story goes back and forth between Luke and Vee's story in the past and then Sophies story. I will admit the first couple of chapters from Luke's perspective had me lost and trying to find out where he came from, but about 1/3rd of the way through everything starts to come together.For me it was hard to connect with Sophie because of her naivety about everything. I mean I definitely sympathized with her, but trying to understand how she was because of her childhood was a bit difficult. For me, her cousin, Stephanie was my favorite character by far! She is so wise beyond her years.The unraveling of past events keeps the reader interested. There were webs and webs of lies and betrayals and unfortunate events piled on top of each other. The saying "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction" kept playing in my head while reading this story.I really found this story so unexpected on so many levels. This is not your average Teen read. There are elements of Romance, but the main focus of this book is on the journey of Sophie and the revelation of how certain events came to be.
