Synopsis

A fast-paced thriller about a girl who discovers that her mother might not be who she says she is . . . and now someone is hunting them both.

Katelyn wants the best for her widowed mom. Surprising her with an online dating profile seems like a good idea.

It isn't. Katelyn's mom hasn't just been acting overprotective all these years--she's been hiding something. And now that anyone can find them online , Katelyn is in a desperate race against time to uncover the secrets of the past--not only her mom's, but also her own.

As Katelyn's world unravels , she begins to trust the guy who brought this nightmare to her door and to doubt the one person she never thought she would. Because her mom has been hiding for a reason: she's been waiting.

About The Author

Abigail Johnson was born in Pennsylvania. When she was twelve, her family traded in snowstorms for year-round summers and moved to Arizona. Abigail chronicled the entire cross-country road trip in a purple spiral-bound notebook that she still has, and has been writing ever since. She became a tetraplegic after breaking her neck in a car accident when she was seventeen, but hasn't let that stop her from bodysurfing in Mexico, writing and directing a high-school production of Cinderella, and riding roller coasters every chance she gets. She is the author of several young adult novels including If I Fix You and Every Other Weekend.abigailjohnsonbooks.com@abigailjohnsonya on Instagram; @AbigailsWriting on Twitter

2.5 Stars CW: (view spoiler)[Father dies in apparent murder but was actually an unfortunate accident, down syndrome girl treated badly by grandmother (hide spoiler)] Well that was a quick and simple YA mystery.

Goodreads review by Laurie on July 04, 2020

This impossible to put down YA thriller had me on the edge of my seat from the first chapter - all the way to the end of this incredibly fast-paced read. Author Johnson ramps up the tension from zero to a thousand from the get-go and doesn't let up. I was intensely curious to read this book since I......more

Goodreads review by Helen on September 05, 2021

This is a fast-paced, action packed thriller with a twist. We’ve all read the story of the woman on the run from her dark past. But in this case, she has a teenage daughter, and the book is from her point of view. I greatly enjoyed this story--because we find out just why Katelyn’s mother has kept t......more

Goodreads review by McCaid on September 20, 2022

*3.5* A quick, mindless thriller that’s more formulaic than original. I did enjoy the tight pacing and a few of the twists sprinkled throughout, but had to suspend disbelief at several characters’ decisions when faced with near-death experiences. The ending is also a little too neat and convenient fo......more
