Her perfect life is a perfect lie . . . Ani FaNelli is the woman who has it all: the glamorous job, the designer wardrobe, the handsome and rich fiancé. But behind her sharp edges and meticulously crafted facade lies the darkest of pasts . . . When a documentary producer invites Ani to tell her side of the chilling and violent incident that took place when she was a teenager at the prestigious Bradley school, she hopes it will be an opportunity to prove how far she's turned her life around since then. She'll even let the production company film her lavish wedding, the final step in her transformation. But as the wedding and filming converge, Ani's past threatens to come back and haunt her. And as her immaculate veneer starts to crack, she is forced to question: will breaking her silence destroy all that she has worked for – or, will it at long last, set Ani free?

I thought I would enjoy this book but I had a hard time enjoying it because of the character Ani. To be honest, most of the characters were quite unlikeable.

The writing wasn't bad and the story premise interested me and it was an easy read but overall the story was "meh" It was lacking some of the elements that make me give a thriller/book 5 starts. 

Nothing overly memorable happened and the characters were kind of forgettable.

A cloth bag containing ten copies of the title and a folder containing book sign out sheets.

An ok book, one of those books that pushes as much trauma on the main character as possible, which i didn’t like. TW sexual assault
