I liked this book.  I love the plot which was quite original and unpredictable. The story was very well written and the characters were relatable and well developed.  Matt, Barbara's son, was adorable and her tragic star-crossed-love, Howard quite lovable, though somewhat nave and I found Dani to be the most solid character in the book. And then you had the antagonists such as the sleazy lawyer Simon, the psychotic stalker Russ, psycho-bitch, Tammy and Howard's parents who were very cold and hateful.There were some holes in the plot though; I had a problem with how gullible Barbara was at times. For a woman on the run, being pursued by a stalker, and knowing that her son's grandparents were out to get custody of him in any manner regardless of whether it was unethical, or amoral; she was a little too trusting of Tammy and even, Kyle. Why would she invite a woman who she just met at work to her home, give out her phone number and even leave her with her son?  And she did the same thing with Kyle even though she just met him, letting her lust for him overrule her reservations.  Many times she ignored warning signs that something was wrong.  There were a few times when I was reading the book that I just shook my head with exasperation at her stupidity.  Anyway, all's well that ends well and I was pleased that the book ended as well as it did.
