“This was like the tv show Revenge but as a YA book and I was here for it.
Frances is one of three people that survived aboard the Persephone but her story of what happened is vastly different than the story the senator and his son are giving about a wave capsizing the boat. Frances knows what really happened: they were attacked by men with guns and everyone was murdered. Frances assumes the identity of Libby, a girl who managed to escape with her but died before being rescued while they were adrift at sea, and begins down a path of revenge. Because she will uncover the truth one way or another.
Entertainment value was a 5 star. I lowered it to a 4.25 for a few reasons. First being Libby’s father is the one to suggest she take her identity and then you’re telling me this man gave up on uncovering the truth?! Also I wanted evidence of them trying to dig up the truth between the four year gap, I wanted to hear how she trained in self defense or took some kind of weaponry class to prepare her. The next thing was Frances/Libby decides to start putting pressure on Gray to find out what happens and I was like okay we’re gonna start out small ease into it but she was like nope gonna go right for “I remember people with guns”. I think we could have worked up to that. And lastly I wanted a little more from the epilogue.
But aside from that this was a fun, quick read that really reminded me of Revenge and why I liked watching that show.”julia

“This book had everything: suspense, romance, mystery, all of it!!
Frances Mae believes that she is the sole survivor of an attack on the yacht the Persephone . Her friend, Libby, died in the last hour before they were rescued from the attack. Frances experienced the murder of her parents, of Libby’s mother, of so many people. So, when she learns that the Senator and his son (yes the same son she fell in love with on her trip) survived as well, AND go around telling everyone that a huge wave appeared (instead that a bunch of men in suits appeared and killed everyone), Frances decides to see through her plan for revenge. Yayy!
When she’s picked up by rescuers, she’s forced to watch as Libby’s father sees his dead daughter for the first time. After she reveals the truth to Libby’s father, he suggests that Frances should pretend to be Libby. And that is what Frances struggles with through this whole story. By becoming someone else, how far is she willing to go so that she loses who SHE is?
I love this book so much! The plot kept rolling and I was constantly surprised. There was never a dull moment because everything just. kept. going!
Frances moves back to Libby’s house 4 years later and runs into Libby’s boyfriend, Shepard, who actually thinks she’s Libby”
