At first i was struggling a little bit with the characters and figuring out what was going on but once that was handled i friggen could not put this down. I stayed up late just to finish this one.

Characters:
Mags - Abe's sister who is a lawyer from Vegas. She heads back to London after her brother, Abe was in a tragic accident
Abe - Mags estranged brother, who lies in a coma state due to either his suicide attempt or someone pushing him over a banister at his place.
Jody - Abe`s emotional & unstable fiance.
Mira -Abe and Jody`s neighbor who might know more of the incidents that took place that fateful night.

The Girlfriend kept me on at the edge of my side mid-way through. Once you think you have it figured out Sarah J. Naughton pulls a twist out on you, she gives you hat could be a perfect ending but then BAM it gets even better, which i didn't think it could. I would absolutely recommend getting a copy of this, you will be in for a treat.

Only other thing i can say without spoiling is make sure you pay close attention to the beginning and really follow everything that is happening, once you have your in for a treat come end of the book.

Thanks NetGalley author Sarah J. Naughton for my ARC in exchange for an honest review. 5STARS!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

I takes a lot for me to add any one book to my top five, but this one has made the cut.

The beginning was a little shaky for me. I found the introductions very confusing especially as we are not always told who is at the centre of each event. It all comes clear by the end of the story....and what a twisty little story this is. I had no idea where this book would take me and the actual outcome was impossible to guess at.

The characters were well developed. Most readers will start out hating some but may feel something entirely different by the ending chapter.

There are very sensitive themes touched upon within this book, which some readers may find difficult to read. I feel that the writer deals with these topics with sensitivity and they are integral to the development of the story.

All in all, a fantastic introduction to Sarah J. Naughton. I can't wait to see more from this talented writer!

Sarah Naughton captured my attention immediately with this highly charged book couldn't put it down.
Mags has made a life for herself in Vegas after escaping from her dysfunctional family back in England. She gets a phone call telling her that her brother is in a coma after an assumed suicide attempt. The only witness appears to have been his girlfriend who claims she didn't actually see anything.
The story starts to unravel and makes for a truly riveting read.

Outstanding book! I enjoyed every minute of it. Lots of twists and turns. I loved how the ending tied all parts of the plot together. I would read more books by this author.
